Wait Till They Realise Women Will See Their Tiny Penises
Why not just compulsorily RFID tag everyone and have done with it?
According to free market economic theory, capital must be free to move without borders. Not so real, actual people, the source of that capital. Here’re two chilling pieces of news for those who mistakenly thought they had freedom of movement in a globalised world: first this–
WASHINGTON – Without notifying the public, federal agents for the past four years have assigned millions of international travelers, including Americans, computer-generated scores rating the risk they pose of being terrorists or criminals.
The travelers are not allowed to see or directly challenge these risk assessments, which the government intends to keep on file for 40 years.
The scores are assigned to people entering and leaving the United States after computers assess their travel records, including where they are from, how they paid for tickets, their motor vehicle records, past one-way travel, seating preference and what kind of meal they ordered.
And then there’s this:
Bare naked travel

The TSA has decided to unleash this invasive horror at Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix.
This is a new X-ray screening device designed to protect The Homeland, folks. Are you ready for this level of Big Brother public scrutiny?
Susan Hallowell, the director of the Transportation Security Administration?s security laboratory, allows her body to be X-rayed by the ?backscatter? machine at the Transportation Security Administration in Egg Harbor Township, N.J., Wednesday, June 25, 2003. Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix Arizona will test the new federal screening system that takes X-rays of passenger?s bodies to detect concealed explosives and other weapons. The technology, called backscatter, has been around for several years but has not been widely used in the U.S. as an anti-terrorism tool because of privacy concerns. (AP Photo/Brian Branch-Price)
No need to worry though, there’ll be no invasion of privacy, oh no. Don’t you worry your pretty little heads about that, l’il ladies.
But the TSA said the X-rays will be set up so that the image can be viewed only by a security officer in a remote location. Other passengers, and even the agent at the checkpoint, will not have access to the picture.
In addition, the system will be configured so that the X-ray will be deleted as soon as the individual steps away from the machine. It will not be stored or available for printing or transmitting, agency spokesman Nico Melendez said.
Uh-huh. And I am Marie of Roumania.
There’s a reason they used a picture of a visibly naked woman to publicise this idea: this gadget feeds every now-adult heterosexual-leaning small boy’s fantasy of a machine that let’s you see under girls’ clothes. “Woohoo! We get to look at boobies and they won’t even know! Cool!”
Who knew the operators of the War On Terror read the small ads in the back of comic books?
What these men pushing this horribly invasive bit of kit don’t realise is that the machine can also see the shape, location and worst of all the dimensions of their willies. And the operator might even be a woman…
I give the x-ray 6 months, tops, after that realisation sinks in.
The profiling issue is much more more dangerous – subjective judgements about you based on secret information, that’ll follow you around the world for 40 years – or let’s just say forever -and there is no appeal.
The government notice says ATS data may be shared with state, local and foreign governments for use in hiring decisions and in granting licenses, security clearances, contracts or other benefits. In some cases, the data may be shared with courts, Congress and even private contractors.
Yet the X-ray is getting much more media attention, because you can see boobies and maybe even the outline of some pussy, hur, hur. Funny, that.
