    This is PERFECT! People, yes, even liberals, believe every damned thing they see on social media that reinforces their beliefs.

    Can you see how this would get conservatives asking questions?! Been saying for years, liberals don’t have the balls to fight dirty. I have zero problem with lying, scamming and cheating the fuck out of fascists. Gods I wish I had a color vinyl printer.

    I don’t understand why we haven’t played the Uno Reverse card on the “TRANS ARE COMING FOR OUR KIDS” Crowd

    “You wanna inspect our kid’s genitals to make sure they’re using the right toilet? Sir, I don’t think you need to be anywhere where anyone’s kids are going to be.”

    My father was a penis inspector, like his father before him. He had to work for years at a penis factory to get by, working long, hard hours. All while taking penis inspection classes at night. When he finally graduated, he said it was so satisfying to tell his boss he was quitting, and that from now on he would be inspecting his work. He went on to be the best penis inspector in our county, and oversaw Penis Inspection Day at 4 public schools and 7 private for over three decades.

    The fact that they think they can automate this entire proud profession with one scanner in a public bathroom is an insulting joke. It’s a single camera! How will it check the underside of the shaft for melanoma? Can it check the foreskin for proper length and cleanliness?? How does it check erection durometer? Not to mention urethral diameter. For fuck’s sake.

      I had a friend that took a college course in Penis Inspection. Any freshman could take that course. But you had to be a Senior for the more challenging course “The Penis and the amazing differences between the cut and uncut”

      The text explicitly says the program is for the lieutenant governor’s office.

      The question is, would the lieutenant governor of Texas’ office be involved in something like this? I’m certain they want to, but would they have the authority? It’s my understanding that international airports are exclusively under federal control, not state.

          For now. It’s easily doable with the TSA scanners. In fact, the scanners DID do this, before everyone complained and they were censored.

          Shall we wait until it’s implemented to complain? I don’t remember the right order of operations.

    The scanners at airports can certainly detect what kind of junk you have. There are tons of horror stories in trans communities. This one just seems like a hoax though.

    I think it would be funny to put these stickers in front of every public restroom to scare the conservatives

        Yes other poster is correct. Those “full body scanners” where you put your hands up can see the full Monty. Big backlash post 9/11 when they started rolling this stuff out. Guess we decided as a society we ultimately didn’t care.

          So what I don’t understand is if it works as you say, which I do believe is true, then why the fuck do they jerk you around with taking this off, or that off. It’s all just bullshit. It’s bad enough that I have to deal with tools on the plane but you just have to fuck with me just to get on the plane

        In the display that TSA agents are given, the image is no longer shown and instead the system shows an outline of a body with the questionable area marked. This was added after the aforementioned outrage from travelers so that every TSA agent didn’t get an x-ray view of your naked body. The scanners are the same, but the agent doesn’t see it anymore.

        They are talking about the security scanners, those can count the number of pubes you have. The sensors in restrooms do not have any imaging capacity. This is extraordinarily funny, since those sensors are mostly in men’s restrooms while all the fake concerns are about women’s restrooms.

            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.

            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

          Ok so even the article you posted says that those machines that show you naked have not been in use for a long time and when they were in use it was phased out pretty quickly.

          It also says the image in there is from 2010 and the veracity can not be guaranteed.

          So very much no the airport machines cannot see you naked.

            Yes they can see you nude, but those specific machines have been removed from unspecified airports,

            The one in Sydney for sure still can image you nude. Ask me how I know.

    Even better the picture is of the automatic flushing part of the toilet and most likely this was placed in the restroom based on the silver background. So now people will think it has a camera rather than just a distance sensor.
