    Hospitals aren't the only places with xrays. Back in my old job, we used it to do failure analysis on chips.

    When I used to scan packages for various nasties, I used to get some funny things delivered to our building. Most were not allowed, and things like cell phones, female marital aids, electronics, etc... used to raise the alert, and cause us to examine the packages.


    As for how these picts were taken, our machine actually had a Zip drive, and you could save image caps from the screen and view them on a computer.

    My various gadgets have been x-rayed dozens of times as entrance to courthouses requires my bag (and the gadgets contained therein) to be scanned.

    In reply to TSA to Transition From Metal Detectors to Whole Body Scanners
    This technology hasn't been out long enough to ensure that it's even safe for everyday use - though it's certainly reasonable to assume that it is, given the low energy of that frequency, and the fact that it's radiated by most things regardless. Still, as long as the scanners are not passive, people should have the right to opt out. (As for privacy - they should be able to opt out for that alone. This DOES equal a strip search, regardless of who performs it.)

    I don't know if I feel comfortable with this idea. At least there is the comfort of knowing that some TSA technician is vomiting after being forced to watch hundreds of fat naked Americans for hours ad hours.

    Not quite as clean as the one in Total Recall.


    I like the person farting as he/she is being scanned though.

    @Shamoononon thanks Rocephin: I gave in to the possibility of moobs. I like to keep my x-rays gender free.
