http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2010/01/500x_nudez.jpgI sort of expected the nudist community to be a bunch of hardline civil libertarians or something, but that doesn't change how wonderful this story is: Nudists? Totally OK (http://www.neatorama.com/2010/01/12/nudists-actually-like-the-airport-full-body-scanner/) with the TSA's new, aggressively denuding (http://gizmodo.com/5443901/is-it-this-easy-to-pull-straight-nude-pics-from-airport-scanners-[nsfw]) security scanners.
The American Association for Nude Recreation (http://gizmodo.com/tag/americanassociationfornuderecreation/) defuses the situation with one of the most masterful PR segues in the history of man: Put this issue in its proper perspective," recommends AANR Executive Director Erich Schuttauf.
A trained security professional in a remote monitoring station takes a few seconds discreetly screening passengers to be sure they're only bringing what nature gave them aboard. In exchange for safer skies, AANR believes it's completely worth it. But you don't have to be a nudist to agree these measures are based on common sense."
Adds Schuttauf, "Polls regularly show that about one in five North Americans have skinny-dipped in mixed company already. So if travelers just think of the screen as a virtual skinny dip, something regarded as American as apple pie since before Norman Rockwell, everyone wins in the name of better air travel security. And as an added bonus, you can add the experience to your ‘bucket list' as a virtual dipping of one's toe into taking a Nakation – that's a nudist vacation!
I'm sold! My heart, to the nudist cause; my basic privacy, to the government of the United States, for basically nothing. [Neatorama (http://www.neatorama.com/2010/01/12/nudists-actually-like-the-airport-full-body-scanner/)]
