So this all started last year, but TSA is really starting to use these scanners now. Basically, they pick people out of the airport security line “at random” and let them choose between going through the body scan (which takes like a minute) or submit to a pat down. You are not taken to a private room for this, it’s done right by the metal detectors. TSA agents view the images and TSA claims all images are immediately deleted after they are viewed.
I feel that there’s a lot of leeway here for misuse. Who is to say the TSA agent calling people out of line isn’t a pervert/pedophile/whatever choosing people who he/she finds attactive or especially ugly or fat? And are there multiple TSA agents sitting there with popcorn chuckling at these people’s naked bodies?
Personally, I think that if there wasn’t such outrage in the beginning, TSA would consider making this body scan mandatory for all travellers. After all, it’s been designed to take less than a minute.
So the questions:
Do you think it’s an invasion of privacy?
Which would you choose, the body scan or the pat down?
If the body scan were made mandatory at some airports, would you go out of your way to avoid those airports? Say there’s another airport an hour away, would you drive to that one instead?
Any other comments?
You can see the body scan images here:

1st- Did this cause any problems in your pregnancy?
2nd- Did it prevent you from feeling the first kicks as early?
3rd- If you had a 3d/4d scan, did it get in the way, as I hear it sometimes does. (I want to get a video/photos done, but not if the placenta will be blocking)
Thanks so much! (:
They didn’t say whether it was high or low, but I read that if its low it could turn into placenta previa if it doesn’t move. Is that very common?
I own a black kitten and when I walk around town, holding him, people back away from him. He’s an affectionate one and my 2nd black cat as of now.
My mom was recently diagnosed with leiomyosarcoma after a lump in her breast was biopsied. She had it removed and before she starts radiation therapy, she was sent for a CT scan. It was all clear except for some spots on her liver. According to the doctor these were normally not malignant and she said they would do a follow up CT scan in a couple of months. Does this seem odd? I mean, shouldn’t they biopsy the spots now just to be sure. Her cancer is slow growing, but if these spots were malignant it seems it would be better to know now. If you’ve had any experience with this disease please respond. This has been very hard to deal with and I need any advice I can get.
I going to purposely look for layovers and then leave the airports just so I can come back in and go through more than usual.

Our 2 year old niece is hospitalized at the moment with a mystery illness. She bruises instantly at the touch of a finger, and the bruises disappear overnight. Just sleeping on her side makes her wake up in the morning with a swollen face, huge black eyes, etc. She also has severe joint pain.
The doctors and specialists (pediatric hematologist) are baffled! Platelet count, organ sizes, CAT scan, full body X-ray, vital signs are all normal. Child abuse and hemophilia are ruled out. They tested for Von Willebrand but the results take a week to come back.
Please, any suggestions will help!
