Comment on Looks legit, but can it actually be a real thing?

  No. It’s a millimeter scan, it is pretty much as if a person saw you naked up front. You have a better chance, in fact, if you don’t shave. The hair can disguise the tuck. Then again, any body hair will be visible, so everything must pass. It’s close to a black and white naked photo from the front and the back that is a tiny bit blurry.

    So TSA is practically seeing everyone naked? Is that for real?

      Naaah, they don’t see it, but the machine can. Apparently they see a SW generated outline.

      Here on wikipedia it says they don’t, because the software is automated and only displays a blurred image.

        But the raw data of every single American who had flown does exist. The government has a database of every tattoo, mole, and genital of everyone who has ever used an airplane.

        What's the point of scanning someone at that level of precision if they can't even see it. Seems pretty pointless to me.

  Shorts covered with quartz sequins would scatter the image enough to blind the scanner. Make sure they’re mounted with glue instead of metal mounts, or they’ll fail the metal detector.

      my point is you dont need to be trying to tuck your shit to convince the tsa that you’re a chick bro.

      just shave that shit bro.

      i havent shaved my garbage for a good long while. as ive gotten older, the ball hair has increased in density, it might be refreshing to go cue-ball.

      i had a friend (had, as he doesnt talk to me anymore cause he needed to borrow €100 and is always broke so will prolly never pay it back) who was a big evangelist for shaving your shit. he was a bit of a locker room pervert… anyway he said one time he was shearing his nuts and sliced off like a 2mm section of scrotum skin (not all the way to the vas defferens or anything, just deep into the layers of skin), and he said the blood came out like a ruby red fire suppression sprinkler and he couldnt get it to stop
