Another Reason To Start Going To The Gym

As hope dwindles for the fulfillment of New Year resolutions, perhaps there’s one common personal goal you will want to keep, unless you don’t mind strangers seeing you naked.

New body scanners have been ordered by Canada to comply with heightened security in the United States. As you might have heard, these scanners can see right through your clothes. No first date, no foreplay, no nothing.

Airport security can see whether or not a person is carrying plastic explosives and dangerous items. Your image cannot be saved on the device, thankfully, but groups are still concerned about breaches in privacy. Honestly though, I’ll risk a person or two seeing me nekkid in exchange for my (relative) safety.

As a suicide net on a bridge can convince someone to jump elsewhere, this new technology, I’m sure, will not stop potential terrorists and conspirators from finding creative ways to wreak havoc.

In terms of privacy, does this security device make you feel more self conscious? Is it crossing the line regarding our personal space and privacy or is it a worthy sacrifice?

Should airport security receive training on how to keep a straight face while looking at naked bodies all day? I know I would need it.

So many questions, so many readers. What do you think?
