They are going to become more and more prevalent as concerns about airline security mount due to repeated attempts by the misguided to blow up planes.

So would you be OK with somebody checking out your body if it could possibly prevent an attack?

I could only find a few images on the net showing what the scanners show, and they differ in appearance. I guess due to being taken using different systems, but you get the general idea.

I think in the spirit of goodwill and being cooperative, you can offer to show them.

I see Leslie voted.

I should have included a HELL YES!!! option for her.

And I had to delete one of your eeks because I'm limited to 10 images (which include smilies) and I wasn't about to delete my confused.

One problem is, in English law it's illegal to send anybody under the age of 18 through one. It counts as Making and is a strict liability offence, with no carve out in law for this purpose.

What's going on in the second picture from the bottom? Is something attached to his penis? Does he even have a penis?

From the looks of things she could have something stuffed in her va-jay-jay and it wouldn't show on the scan.

I think what you are seeing is a zipper and a wad of tissue.

A full body x-ray will be next, if they aren't doing it already. The TSA guy will call it an "Innie" or an "Outie". If you get both it'll be an "Inside out".

"Hey Joe, turn this one inside out!"

Sorry, shorthand for "Making an Indecent Image of a Person Under the Age of 18"

Summary of the various laws here.
