I got to go through their newfangled million dollar body scanner thingy, and yet they did not notice the water bottle in my back-pack.

waz up wit dat???? :confused:
 
Perhaps they not only noticed it, but also knew it's temperature and mineral content.
 
Probably because the body scanner is intended to scan your body. If someone let you wear your pack while going through it, they likely biffed it big time.
 
I went through SF airport this summer and I only went through an old fashioned metal detector.

Did you have to empty your pockets and take off your shoes?

Your backpack went through the x-ray machine, correct? I'm assuming you weren't wearing it when you went through the newfangled scanner. When I went through it, they wouldn't even let me have my wallet in my pocket. I had to take it out and hold it in my hand, away from my body.
 
Consider yourself lucky. I got the full rectal probe at SFO last time. The TSA agent said that's what they do with everyone now, but I think the story is a bit fishy....
 
You know, I'm totally okay with these things. My only request is that I be able to see both the operator's hands when I'm going through it.
 
When did they put in a new scanner? I haven't been in there for a couple years but it seemed normal the last time I was there.
 
Well my guess is that this device will have flaws and won't be able to pick up the newest most dangerous threats. This will get an outcry and a demand will be pushed for a newer system that will be able to, and one that will be even more invasive.

Problem, reaction, problem-in-disguise-as-a-problem, reaction, solution.

After staring at bodies for hour after hour, I'd guess the biggest problem is boredom, not wankerdom. You're gonna have to be hung like a horse to get the slightest bit of attention or reaction from the operators.

Yeah, I remember my first year of art college. You get a few people tittering in their first class with a nude model but after a few months of it you stop even seeing them as people any more. You just sort of get in the zone and it doesn't matter any more. Of course, if you were late to class and weren't in the zone yet it could be a bit disconcerting walking into a room and finding a naked person there.

Personally, I'd hope one hand was missing when I went through.

My life is so boring...
