bob dobbs is dead posted:never gotten patted down in my life when I went to the US in 07 I was on a flight a week earlier than my wife and when I landed they pulled me aside and questioned the hell out of me it might have been terrifying but I’d taken 3 lorazepam on the flight lol. i’d never take one before and as soon as the first tablet hit me I thought why not take more. I was in such a state of anti anxiety even the big american customs or whoever it was in their black uniforms didn’t scare me

oh is the problem that they don't want the agents looking at your body so it has to do image recognition? jfc they should just get rid of those things then, there's no way they actually do anything.

Eeyo posted:drat these millimeter wave scanners sound dumb as poo poo yeah every single transperson in the US just kinda has to put up with getting groped because the scanners not only will flag them but specifically flag "suspicious thing specifically in the crotchular area" so they have to specifically grope the crotchular area. also a cis friend of mine with a real big dong triggers it all the time for similar reasons cuz it's referenced against the NIST standard calibration dong and i think that's real funny

i have two trans women sisters and they say that if you take a red eye flight a lot of times the security lines aren't very rushed and they can ask the tsa agent to set their scan as a man so that they just get their boobs fondled instead of their dick grabbed but that is also a very depressing thing to have to do to ask some official to deny your gender for a less intense invasive fondling

Eeyo posted:oh is the problem that they don't want the agents looking at your body so it has to do image recognition? The actual direct output isn't like normal photographs though, I think it's more like a very low resolution 3d model of your body without clothes but including any objects outside the skin that are opaque to the millimeter waves, so while I guess it involves possibly incorrect assumptions about what bodies should be shaped with, it's probably not totally impossible for a computer to do it most of the time. Usually it will just flag like one area which needs to be patted down so if they can get it to stop flagging people's crotches that will fix most of it being really invasive (well if you have certain medical equipment they'll probably give you a full body patdown every time which would suck) However based on the way it works it seems like it might potentially be completely useless against someone who actually knows enough about how it works anyway? mystes fucked around with this message at 03:02 on Sep 24, 2023 |

the one time i got swabbed for explosives it popped positive for some reason and the tsa guy’s response to the machine dinging or whatever it did was to say “bummer!” in a stoner-rear end voice because he knew it was a false positive. he still had to do the ball-fondling song and dance but I’m white so it was “obvious security theater” instead of “law enforcement fucks with someone for fun”
