The scanners at airports can certainly detect what kind of junk you have. There are tons of horror stories in trans communities. This one just seems like a hoax though.

I think it would be funny to put these stickers in front of every public restroom to scare the conservatives

I believe what you are saying but really didn't think the scanners were capable of actually seeing your genital area as if it was an Xray

Yes other poster is correct. Those "full body scanners" where you put your hands up can see the full Monty. Big backlash post 9/11 when they started rolling this stuff out. Guess we decided as a society we ultimately didn't care.

So what I don't understand is if it works as you say, which I do believe is true, then why the fuck do they jerk you around with taking this off, or that off. It's all just bullshit. It's bad enough that I have to deal with tools on the plane but you just have to fuck with me just to get on the plane

Security Theater.

The underpants bomber is who we have to thank for these being everywhere now.

In the display that TSA agents are given, the image is no longer shown and instead the system shows an outline of a body with the questionable area marked. This was added after the aforementioned outrage from travelers so that every TSA agent didn't get an x-ray view of your naked body. The scanners are the same, but the agent doesn't see it anymore.

Officers can still access the debug mode and see everything. For when they need a quick wank

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The TSA scanners at airports really can see you completely nude.

The ones at the toilets are simple IR sensors to detect if the toilet is not occupied so it can automatically flush.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ok so even the article you posted says that those machines that show you naked have not been in use for a long time and when they were in use it was phased out pretty quickly.

It also says the image in there is from 2010 and the veracity can not be guaranteed.

So very much no the airport machines cannot see you naked.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Yes they can see you nude, but those specific machines have been removed from unspecified airports,

The one in Sydney for sure still can image you nude. Ask me how I know.

Would that scare conservatives? They'd probably see it as a justified trade off...

Not if it beeps "penis too small for detection!"
