This "1 in 5" number seems to keep cropping up. I really don't think it's coincidence.

"With all the controversy in the media over the security full-body scanners and pat downs at airports, a CBS poll finds four-in-five people (81%) are in favor of the full-boxy scanners, while just 15% say they're opposed."

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2010/11/17/5481656-obama-agenda-81-favor-body-scanners

[close enough, anyway]

  I for one am sick of the people who claim they are so modest that someone might see their picture.  The people I have seen complaining are big fat asses like me.  My God give me a break.  Who in hell would want to see a naked picture of them.

  What I would like to see them do is take about 50 people, half men and half women of the same built, take a picture of their scanner picture and let them pick themselves out.  I don't think they could do it.  It's a stupid red herring.

  The scanners are quick and easy.  If the people who don't want to take it.  Let the security officers do a body cavity search on them.  :rotfl:  :rotfl:  I wonder what the cry babies would do then.  :cry:  :cry:  :cry:

I think it should be "don't want strangers handling their junk"

Or maybe ...

Off topic ... but if a screener wanted to grope me, I would just smile and ask for a female screener to do it. And if they insisted a male do it, I would just smile anyway and pretend to enjoy it.  :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted:

Wouldn't that take a MRI of their head :wall: to prove that there is nothing there.  Well, maybe rocks.  :rotfl:  :rotfl:  :thumbsup:

I meant the latter but it was quite early for me. . . I should not post before my second cup of lifer's juice in the mornings!  :biggrin:
