TSA Nudeosope OVERKILL at McCarran, especially if you are a Woman!

How about the novel thought of holding TSA accountable? Let's make it a profession, not the employment equivalent of the last stop before the unemployment line.

" Talk sense to a fool and they call you foolish". Once again I see I have wasted my time trying to express sensibility to others. Enjoy your opinions.

Employment equivalent of the person who rents you bowling shoes, is more like it. Come on!
I don't want my Vegas mailman running the nudeoscope either.
For the umpteenth time...........I say OVERKILL at McCarran especially if you are a Woman!
Haven't seen the "herd the women" mentality at any other airport.

We need to make TSA accountable! Speak up!



(drmilled- you have been excused from this thread)

CLV, if it is any consolation, I'd run you through the NoS many times.

It seems to me that Las Vegas was one of the airports using new software that show a generic image of a person not the more explicit of earlier type. ...Cleveland is another airport that was listed too.The picture they showed in the paper looked like a cartoon drawing.

Maybe I am missing something here but I thought I would ask. When you guys are going thru security are you carrying your suitcase or maybe wearing like lots of clothing such as a heavy jacket and such?

I am just wondering if that would make them want to do the nudeoscope or a patdown.

Normally I do the curbside checkin and only carry my dvd player thru security. I then just put it on the belt and just go thru.

I do know that one time they did do a patdown on my mom and I noticed that her ticket had some different wording on it than mine did so I think they do it at random.

You may not have the easiest time finding a woman working for TSA that would want to see such a thing. I would hate for you to re-enact the shower scene from Porky's with the woman P.E. coach. After the new CD, Clockwork Angels, released later this year then hopefully there will be a tour next year. I like my shows at the MGM.

Looks like typical FFA banter.


To answer your question loyd, "When you guys are going thru security are you carrying your suitcase or maybe wearing like lots of clothing such as a heavy jacket and such?

The answer is No.

It was 100 degrees outside & All of us ladies were dressed lightly. The only thing I put thru
was my purse & shoes. I carried nothing else. And we were NOT given the choice of going
thru the metal detector!
Speaking of which, us Ladies had purses that had already Gone thru the metal detector,
and were sitting at the end of the conveyor belt, Unattended, so anyone could walk off with it!!

Especially since there was A LINE of Women at the Nudiescope, and you had to face the Opposite
way from where your purse was! This is also Wrong!

This has always been a HUGE pet peeve of mine!!! My hubby has artificial joints and always sets off the metal detector, so we're prepared BUT they let his stuff go through and take him away to do the pat down/wand thing. In the meantime, all of his personal belongings are out of his sight and just sit at the end of the conveyor belt for anyone to take. In our case, I just grab his stuff and wait for him but if he were traveling alone it would be a BIG problem!! Also, since I'm able to take his things and no one has ever questioned me, it leads me to believe that anyone could take it.

Have to laugh---just got back from our trip and while the LV airport was no problem CMH/Columbus sure was.

First off, I didn't think anything about it and wore a cloth/rope style belt-no metal buckleit just ties. Well they were cattle herding everyone throught the "new/improved" scanners where you have to take off your belt. Ok, just one problem, I wear very comfy clothes when I fly and my shorts were so baggy that I had to hold up my pants when I took my belt off or they would have hit the ground. Any ways the first girl/ lady insisted I go through the scanner holding my hands high. The girl running the scanner insisted I hold onto my pants and go through the regular scanner. They are standing arguing about it while the line gets longer (only scanner open). The very young guy sitting at the old type scanner is getting redder and redder and just told me to just go to my plane.

common sense needs to be taught and used in this day and age.
