If they run Coulter through the scanner, they're going to find a lot more junk than they figgered on.

I am the sparrow prince. Long has my spirit been trapped here. Before you lies the maze of the small intestine. One path lies to the stomach, and your salvation, while the other leads to certain doom. Take with you this helmet and torch. Let them be your guide.

It was hilarious--only Coulter can say foreskin and anus on tv and not lose it...

And now they are going to use stimulus money for purchase of body scanners--

There is a joke is there somewhere..

Stimulus to bring body scanners to airports

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The U.S. government is using $25 million in stimulus money to buy and install full body scanners in airports this year, in an effort to ramp up security and create jobs.

The Transportation Security Administration is using funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to purchase 150 of the full body scanners, according to TSA spokeswoman Sarah Horowitz.

Is she wrong?

Wouldn't a would-be bomber be willing to go to whatever extremes are necessary to get past security?

I was wondering this myself when I first heard about body scanners.

It sounds like a lot of effort and expense, when it could easily be fooled.

Obviously, you aren't going to bring an AK-47 onboard that way, but a small amount of non-metallic material could get through.

...but a small amount of non-metallic material could get through"

Actually if you spread it around enough amongst two or three people you could get enough to make a real bomb.

Trick is that dang detonator thing... really hard to sneak one of those even by a standard metal detector.

How did this latest almost bomber get one on board?

My point is a lot of money is going to be spent, and I'm afraid we're still going to hear about bombing and bomb threats.

Law enforcement has their work cut out for them considering these terrorists are so committed to their beliefs.

Oh, yeah, and you all owe me a HUGE thank you for posting an illustration and not an actual photo of a prolapsed rectum. I just spared somebody the awkward task of taking their puke-covered laptop in to Geek Squad.

" I don't see a clear angle on the anus. "

Get another mirror, Ann.

Well, s(he)'s not Jewish, as far as I know.

It was recently announced that these X-Ray Spex-esque body scanners are coming soon to an airport near Spud.

YVR aka Vancouver International Airport is slated to get a couple of the 44 body scanners the government has just bought fer $250,000 each.

Apparently they will be initially used only on flights into the US and those people will still have a choice between being body scanned or having a physical pat down.

Spud's on the record as questioning both the efficiency and the cost of this relatively new and unproven tech.

The modesty/privacy invasion thing, otoh, isn't really an issue by Spud's lights.

Are Coulter's assertions here correct?

Would this tech have stopped the Underpants Bomber or not?

Would a rectally placed dildo bomb get past this?

As was noted earlier combatting terrorism is a game of adaption and evolution. You harden a target with a given measure. They change tactics to adapt to that. Then you adapt to that new adaptation. And so on and so forth.

Rinse and repeat ad infinitum.

Hopefully Spud's reservations are misplaced here and these new scanners actually do prevent tragedies from occurring in future.

We shall see.

Be Well.
