mostly-illusory sense of additional safety.xaos

I am sure many, if not all of you, have heard about, or have experienced the "Full Body Scans" that are taking place in many airports across the states, and in other countries. Over the weekend there was one traveler that decided he did not want to take part in the scan, you can read it HERE

As someone who travels a lot for both work and personal enjoyment I deal with the TSA many times a year, ususally a few times a month. In my opinion, this guy was pretty much just looking fora "fight" for lack of a better word. I know he claims that he was trying to avoid the scan all together, but he still bought, or had his ticket bought for him, knowing he might have to go through it, or be patted down... and STILL showed up to the airport. To me, this is the kind of person that just causes more stress, and time wasted, not only for himself, but for other travelers.

So I ask you, is this full body scan really an invasion of privacy? Is a patdwon "molestation" as he puts it? Are you worried about someone who you will never see (the image viewer) and never run into again, seeing a less than perfect "nude" image of you? Would you not fly because of this?

SCAN SAMPLE :

Good morning all,

Two quick things.

1) It seems my achievements tracking via raptr is no longer working, has not been fora few weeks now. It has updated on the raptr page, but not here. My xbox 360 tracker is also working. Any ideas?

2) My "percentage" to my next GameSpot level is different by 1% between my blog/home page, and other pages where you can view it. Like if I go to the forums page where it also shows my level, it will be 87% on my home page, and 88% on the forums page. Not sure if this is a problem or not, just thought I would bring it up.

This.
