Peer-reviewed paper says terrorists could fool clothes-penetrating tools

World Net Daily
November 29, 2010


A new peer-reviewed scientific study says the backscatter full-body imaging X-ray machines being used by the federal Transportation Security Administration could be fooled by terrorists who simply would mold explosives to conform to their bodies.

WND obtained an advance copy of the report, titled "An evaluation of airport X-ray backscatter units based on image characteristics," in which University of California scientists Leon Kaufman and Joseph Carlson demonstrated that packages of explosives contoured to the body or worn along the sides likely would not be detected by TSA X-ray units built to "see" hard edges and anatomical features, and used primarily to image the front and back of the body.

My thoughts exactly. And watch out for the cornhole.

Now anybody with an extra long crank will be subject to a strip search.

What about body makeup?

I think most reasonable people would agree a vivisection is the best solution.

Penis bomb. You must remove your penis before flying, or it will be removed on your behalf by a friendly TSA agent... of your same gender, of course (because that'll make it okay).

Attention, all "randomly selected" passengers with a "E" on your ticket, get in this line and remove all jewelry and fillings - and then proceed to the showers in preparation for your enhanced inspection...

They could just swallow a bunch of rubbers full of PETN like the drug smugglers do with coke...

Hmmm... you know those surprise "feel" boxes that in art gallery situations have all sorts of different textures from feathers to balls, etc. or in haunted houses contain stuff that feels totally gross.... Think of "special" underwear with custom pockets and go for the gross end of the spectrum... then ask for a patdown :D

I would still like to find a substance that I could wear on my clothes that would create a feedback in the scanners and fry it into scrap.
Then go in and pretend there was someplace I wanted to fly.

Or the terrorists could easily change tactics and go with chemical warfare....

even if the body-scanners go away, I imagine they'll just return to doing a pat-down or enhance pat down with randomly selected (haha) "strip searches" at certain points.

All I can say is, it still don't do anything; the only way to get these whacko terrorists off your back is to give them no reason to attack you in the first place.

This might hit a hard wall here, just because of the PC aspects of it... You know who has artificial penis's: Transexuals...

Oh, and as I understand it, there is a "hands off" double standard where you get a pass if you happen to be wearing a burka... :rolleyes: But that's OK, I like to dress in drag whenever I fly :D

That story was bunk. CAIR's statement referred to people selected to go to secondary screening because of their "loose" headwear. It advised burka-wearers to ask the TSA if they're receiving extra screening because of their "loose" headwear and then after their headwear has been checked, request they not be further molested. Wearing a burka would likely get you extra screening, not less.
