In addition to moving to an onerous process for driving licenses we are also taking other steps toward the Big Brother state with another invasion of our modesty and privacy.

Plans are underway to implement new security screening procedures that will X-ray the airline passengers as they move through "security."

I do not know what is worse, the fact that other than the ACLU no one seems to be disturbed by this peeping tom security or the idea that this virtual peep show for airport security is seen as perfectly reasonable by USA Today in the article. Note how the article does not dwell on the ethical considerations in any real detail. I have to wonder what other interesting roll outs we will see from the mislabeled Homeland Security in the near future?

Come on, how long before we have some airport security version of Taxicab Confessions on Showtime or Cinemax?
