Shah Rukh signs off sexy body-scan printouts at Heathrow
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'L')ondon, Feb 6 (IANS) Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan isn't intimidated by the full body-scan machines that have been recently installed at London's airports - in fact, he's been signing off printouts of his X-rays.

Khan, appearing on 'Friday Night With Jonathan Ross' - one of British television's most popular weekend shows - revealed he's been turning the controversial security machines into a public relations opportunity at London's Heathrow airport.

'I'm always stopped by the security, because of the name. And I think its okay: the western world is a little bit worried, paranoid and touchy, I guess - and feely when they're frisking you,' Khan told his celebrity chat show host moments after explaining how his new film is about a Muslim named Khan on a mission to tell the US president he is not a terrorist.

'I was in London recently going through the airport and these new machines have come up, the body scans. You've got to see them. It makes you embarrassed - if you're not well endowed.

'You walk into the machine and everything - the whole outline of your body - comes out.'

Khan said he did not know that the body-scans - installed in the wake of last year's abortive Christmas Day bombing of a transatlantic flight over Detroit - showed up every little detail of one's body.

'I was a little scared. Something happens [inside the scans], and I came out.

'Then I saw these girls - they had these printouts. I looked at them. I thought they were some forms you had to fill. I said 'give them to me' - and you could see everything inside. So I autographed them for them.'

Oh, man. This happened to me too. I then passed out the following autographed photo:

I don't usually quote Ayn Rand, but this immediatly came to mind when reading the article.

I don't know what exactly it is about this women but THIS is the most annoying and repulsive picture I have ever seen get plastered all over the news. Here is all the stuff they didn't tell you about and the numbers are quite an insane investment in a dying form of travel, glad i haven't had the need to fly in years. I drive. More symptoms of an empire run a muck.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'C')all them what you will: bottom feeders, corporate con-men, flim-flam artists, peddlers of crisis, you name it.

You can't help but marvel how enterprising security firms have the uncanny ability to sniff-out new opportunities wherever they can find, or manufacture, them.

After all, nothing sells like fear and in "new normal" America fear is an industry with a limitless growth potential.

While Republicans and Democrats squabble over who's "tougher" when it comes to invading and pillaging other nations (in the interest of "spreading democracy" mind you), a planetary grift dubbed the "War on Terror," waiting in the wings are America's new snake-oil salesmen.

Welcome to Scannergate!

With airport security all the rage,...

That is a scary scenario you offered up and I would love to watch suspected female terrorists go through the scanner gate all day to see if they are packing tallywhackers. This is why I suspect an ulterior motive other than corporate looting of the police state budget. In the example below, the old fashioned metal detector would have no problem detecting the piece and in fact the lump in her ass is a dead giveaway but the scanner gate is far more revealing. The terror suspect is quite attractive in this case which could lead to a cavity search.

Are we going to have to keep an eye on Quido the $10/hour scanner operator who brings his digicam into work everyday and hangs out on image boards like 4 chan? Just wait until the tallywhacker x-ray threads start in earnest. Interesting times.

What he has made little mention of is that the Chertoff Group, his security consulting agency, includes a client that manufactures the machines. Chertoff disclosed the relationship on a CNN program Wednesday, in response to a question.
