@Xodin: Depending on the scanner there are "liveness" tests incorporated that cough on that sort or thing. Additionally they often visually scrutinize you while you do the scan, if they saw scars they'd prolly notice tape.
The University of California at Santa Barbara has a sort of 3D-projection version of this, called the AlloSphere. Its director, JoAnn Kuchera-Morin, gave a TED talk about it earlier this year. She's a cool lady (I used to work down the hall from her), and she's put together a truly fantastic marvel of technology.
It was a blast to quite literally explore a human brain, as well as a zinc oxide crystal. Check it out:
Ages ago I used to play a fairly realistic surgery game on the PC, loved it even though I had lost the manual and learned by trial and error (can't do that in medical school). Would love to get a current gen game like that to play around with. #thiscyborglife
@minibeardeath: You can turn it off if you want. My sister uses the same model laptop (Dell XPS M1710), gave it to her when I got my new one. It has lights on the front, side (back sides, where the fans are), and back (XPS logo on left and right sides of the back of the screen), that you can change colors, have them glow, flash, change colors, and do things like flash red when you get a new email. #thiscyborglife

@The Lab: I had a board game just like that! #thiscyborglife

"Ohhhh, dismemberment. Yeah, I'm afraid that surgery costs an arm and a leg, and you look a little... short. NEXT!" #thiscyborglife
