NEW "Naked Airport X-ray" as seen on 20/20

This is too cool!



I was reporting in Raleigh/Durham, NC, this morning and was fully expecting the usual pat down and/or strip search, depending on the agent. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised to see a new machine standing there in front of me with all of it's glory. I just entered one a few minutes ago in Richmond, VA too. The ABC site for 20/20 calls it the "Naked Airport X-ray" and apparently it is getting quite the controversy. These people are obviously not the ones who have to go to a separated glass room, where the male TSA yells "female assist", and I wait forever feeling like an idiot because I had to have my knee replaced. Then, I am "wanded" and felt up, like I have not been a flight attendant for the last 11 years. Give me a break. All of this seniority should get me something a little more humane. And then of course, there is my husband, Joe. His incisions are still a bit fresh and they insist on practically slapping his hip. That is until he starts to pull his pants down. If you want to see something just have him in your line. We will gladly use this xray instead.
