Maybe is time for a change in career?

News.com is reporting about the new X-Rated, X-Ray machines that the DHS wants to test out for security screening. Now if only I could get a job doing screening at LAX …

Not sure how I feel about this. I personally don’t care if screeners can see me naked. And I’m sure the screeners aren’t really anxious to see me in buff. I doubt many men will care but what about the women?

There’s also a chance for abuse. How hard can it be to hook up a recording device to store all the images that the machine captures? There are a lot of sick people out there.

It seems that it comes down to a question of value. Which is more important their privacy or their security?
