It is already happening! It is being reported that actor Shah Rukh Khan autographed printouts of his own body scanner image for airport workers at London's Heathrow airport. This is yet more proof that images of our exposed bodies are not "immediately deleted" once we walk through the controversial new full body scanners that are being installed in airports all over the world. So what will happen when people start smuggling images of celebrities out and start posting them all over the Internet? How would you feel if someone took your body scanner image and started posting it all over the Internet? This is a very big deal. The truth is that this is the end of the world as far as airport privacy is concerned.
Fortunately for Khan, he was apparently not too offended....
"I was in London recently going through the airport and these new machines have come up, the body scans. You've got to see them. It makes you embarrassed - if you're not well endowed."
But not everyone is going to be comfortable with the idea of airport security printing out pictures of our exposed bodies. The truth is that these new airport scanners produce "a ghostly naked image with curves and genitals eerily visible".
Eerily visible?
No thanks.
But it is bad enough for airport security officials to be able to get a passing glance at our exposed bodies.
It is another thing entirely for them to be able to print the images out and gawk at them for hours.
But according to Khan, airport security officials are printing these images out....
"Then I saw these girls - they had these printouts. I looked at them. I thought they were some forms you had to fill. I said 'give them to me' - and you could see everything inside. So I autographed them for them."
Is this what we have become?
Is this what we have to do to feel "safe" from terrorism?
What a sad day this is.
So what do you all think about this?
Are you ready for twisted airport officials to print out full body scans of you and your family and post them on the Internet?
Or should we all just get over it and be willing to laugh about it and autograph the images like the actor from India did?
It's a brave new world that we live in, and our humanity is slowly being stripped away from us.

That really is intrusive. The intrusive part is the eye seeing the high resolution image. If they could just blur out the private parts, maybe it would be more useful to find guns or bombs, etc.
