20101124 USA: Vulva am Nacktscanner durch Slipeinlage nicht sichtbar: ausziehen

24.11.2010 USA: Vulva am Nacktscanner durch Slipeinlage nicht sichtbar: ausziehen

In den USA wurde eine Frau abgetastet (inkl. des Intimbereichs), weil das Sicherheitspersonal am Nacktscanner durch eine Slipeinlage die Vulva der Frau nicht sehen konnte, was ihren Verdacht erregte.

Dies bedeutet natürlich im Umkehrschluss: die Nacktscanner sind gerade dafür ausgelegt, ein möglichst gutes Bild des Körpers unter der Kleidung darzustellen - weshalb sie in den USA längst auch "Pornoscanner" genannt werden.

Viele weitere Berichte, beispielsweise von Krebspatienten mit Urinbeutel, die sich ausziehen und dann durchnässt durch den Flughafen ins Flugzeug steigen mussten; von 3-jährigen Kindern, die abgetastet werden; von einer Brustkrebsüberlebenden, die vor allen Menschen am Flughafen ihre Brustprothese aus dem BH nehmen musste und viele, viele weitere Fälle sexueller Belästigung durch das Sicherheitspersonal sind auf folgenden Seiten (englisch) versammelt:

Menstruating woman subjected to TSA grope because panty-liner obscured her vulva on pornoscanner - Boing Boing

Menstruating woman subjected to TSA grope because panty-liner obscured her vulva on pornoscanner

A self-described "rule follower" went through an airport pornoscanner wearing a panty-liner (she was menstruating). Because the hygienic item obscured the screener's view of her vagina vulva, she was made to endure a humiliating fondling, "so invasive that I was left crying and dealing with memories that I thought had been dealt with years ago of prior sexual assaults."

These new scans are so horrible that if you are wearing something unusual (like a piece of cloth on your panties) then you will be subjected to a search where a woman repeatedly has to check your "groin" while another woman watches on (two in my case - they were training in a new girl - awesome). So please, please, tell the ladies not to wear their liners at the airport (I didn't even have an insert in). I'm a strong, confident woman; I'm an Army vet (which is why those camo liners crack me up), I work full-time and go to graduate school full-time, I have a wonderful husband, and I don't take any nonsense from anyone. I don't dramatize, and I don't exaggerate. I'm trying to give you a sense of who I am so you won't think that this is a plea for attention, or a jumping on the bandwagon about the recent TSA proposed boycott. I just don't want another woman to have to go through the "patting down" because she didn't know that her glad-rag would be a matter of national security."

There are plenty of TSA apologists who say that objections to the TSA's invasive "pat-downs" are just whining from people don't want to go through the backscatter radiation machines -- we bring it on ourselves. But as we've seen, anything out of the ordinary -- wearing a fabric pad during menstruation, artificial limbs, medical prostheses, etc -- can send you off for a date with Doctor Jellyfinger, Junior G-Man extraordinaire.

By declaring war on the unexpected, the TSA has set in motion a policy that makes the lives of cancer sufferers, disabled people, people who've had major surgery, and many others who're already having a hard time even harder.
