Stop the scanning!
May 18, 2009 | Smyrna, Georgia | Vetting explained
Full body scanning is not OK. I don't care if the person is in another room, they are still looking at an image of me naked. It seems as though every other day there is another way to "make us safer" when we travel on the airlines, and frankly, I think enough is enough! I take off my shoes, have to overpay for bottled water, can only take enough toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner for about three days worth of cleanliness. It's bad enough I now have to pay to take my luggage with me, but to subject people to this is just not right. Every time you fly and take off your shoes, have your bag searched because of how you look, run out of toothpaste, and have to pay for that extra luggage, go ahead and remember that someone you don't know has now seen you naked.
Also - blurring out the faces? Doesn't that pretty much negate the entire concept of this? Isn't this to identify people who wish to cause you harm?
Lets stop being so alarmist. The minute percentage of people who have sinister interest is greatly outweighed by the number of good people who are having their rights violated every single day.

The best iReports get vetted and used on CNN platforms.
The label “Not vetted by CNN” lets you know that this story hasn’t been both checked and cleared by a CNN editor.
iReport stories that have a red "CNN iReport" stamp in the corner have been vetted and
cleared. That means they've been selected and approved by a CNN producer to use on CNN,
on air, or on any of CNN's platforms.
