Pervert Positions

Is it just me, or does work as a TSA screener sound like the perfect job for perverts?

Bear with me.

So current security measures in airports are leaning towards these full body scanners. These things essentially are working x-ray goggles that let the screeners see a person pretty much naked.

And the devices save the images.

Since there's been some noted abuses of this technology, folks going through security can opt not to go through the naked-o-tron.

Of course, if you do that, you get a little tender loving attention by TSA folks who have to pat you down.

Apparently they'll be doing more "intensive" pat-downs in the near future.

So, essentially, a TSA screener is the perfect job for a voyeur or a groper.

Nice.

Oddly enough, I don't feel any safer now.
