Air travel rant #6 enough is enough is enough is enough is enough · Friday June 20, 2008 by colin newell
The airport in Kelowna, B.C., will be the first in Canada to test a new type of passenger scanner that creates a three-dimensional image of people’s bodies.
This equipment has been in use in the U.S. for some time now.
Why are we adopting it? Well. Because the U.S. told us to.
The security guard operating the machine sees a simplified image on a computer screen that sees where ceramic weapons, plastic explosives, grenades, Uzi’s, pop rocks or other suspicious items might be concealed.
But in a separate, private room, another officer sees the full detailed black and white image of the person’s body; boobies, pee-pee’s, tushies, implants, enhancements, warts and all.
Say it with me folks: F*ck, F*ck, F*ck, F*ckity, F*CK!
Enough. Enough. Enough. Enough. Enough of this pointless bullsh*t security.
Since 9/11, there has been a total of 2 terror related fatalities in the Continental U.S. by Al Hoo-Hoo or terror wanna-be’s.
And taxpayers are on the hook for billions and billions of dollars spent on this electronic crap.
In the same time period, hundreds of people have died at the hands of angry bath-tubs… and nothing is being done about that!

Air travel rant #6 milk of human kindness - tossed in the trash
The “planes as bombs“ strategy was useful when the idea was beyond our collective imagination, but it was already obsolete by the time the fourth plane was hijacked. Enough already!

The Border Patrol in the US has a
machine that produces similar effects. They use it on the border to scan vehicles (especially trucks)
and occasionally they use it at the highway and freeway checkpoints. Most people are unaware of this. Expensive tho’,
so they have to move it around. I have no idea how many of these machines are in operation, but a question arises
for me and that is, if they can see that well, it is similar to a
cat scan or mri, and what effect
will that have on people? Will it
potentially damage dna or cellular structure?
