Stop purchase of Sexually Explicit Scanning Equipment in Airports
The Issue
Iin 2006 a trial run of Sexually Explicit Scanning Machines was installed in 3 airports. Americans logically expected the invasive nature of these scans, their expense, and the duplication of existing metal detection would prevent purchase and installation. Now 3 years later, the ACLU's vigilance for civil liberty informed us that dearly needed tax dollars have been slated to purchase these X-rated images for airports despite their duplication of existing metal detection technology, their peeping tom invasion of personal space, wasteful allocation of needed money, and wholesale violation of supposed privacy of "private parts". The photo attached was published so the nipples were blurred, the vagina blurred, and the length and contours of a man's penis and scrotum would be just as clear in these scans had this been of a man. This is violation of personal freedom, exposing the traveler's body in inappropriate and unacceptable ways.
