Entertaining the folks that have to look at the full body scan images.....

[DizBelle]

Ok, so nobody is really going to enjoy having to do the full body scan thing. So, why not try to make it fun and intersting. What kinds of things can you do to produce an entertaining image.

So you have to stand a certain way with your hands in a certain place. Can you make interesting "shadow puppets"?

Even if there is no way to do anything entertaining due to limitations of required positioning, imagine that you could and share a creative way of producing a "fun" image.

I'd try to position my hands so that I produce a hidden mickey on the image.

Screening takes too long as it is. I don't want it to be even slower because some joker want's to create hidden mickey's and doesn't postion himself as requested until he's asked a few times.

That's the spirit! Not....

Pretend you're going to WDW and suspend reality for a bit.

I'm with lewisc.

 

[DizBelle]

Jeez. No fun people here.

Save the funny faces, hand gestures, etc. for the photo equipment on the rides at Disney and make the screening process as fast as possible.

I had a long response ready to go but I don't need to be put on probation yet again. All I can say is this is about the worst idea I've ever heard. You do realize there are people waiting behind you right? You may want to consider someone other than yourself and the person watching the monitor who undoubtedly won't be impressed with your antics.

TERRIBLE IDEA AND DISCUSSION TO EVEN CONSIDER!

Here is a story. Our friends were traveling to Hawaii this summer. Son is 22 and he and mom in line waiting for security and he made some sarcastic remark about security. The person heard it and they pulled him out, lectured him and did a full pat-down and search on him.

Security in airports is not something to joke about. Goofing off and trying to be cute when going through security is stupid.

IF you do decide to do this hope you have plenty of extra time to go through the extra security and talk you would most likely get or they could refuse to let you through and cause you to miss your flight. Would it be worth it then?

Even my teenage boys learned at a young age (they have been flying yearly since 8 weeks old) have more common sense and know you go through and don't say anything even remotely stupid or act like that.

I really wish people would stop being sheep and going through these dehumanizing machines. You are letting a stranger who is sitting behind closed doors view your naked body just so you can fly on an airplane.

And how does making a stupid shadow puppet help the situation?

 

[DizBelle]

You'd think I'd suggested that everyone should run over puppies.....

Wow. Just wow.

It's kind of interesting that there is a lack of imagination on a DIS forum.

 

[clanmcculloch]

It's not that there's a lack of imagination. It's that on this board, people are trying to help people figure out the most efficient and accurate ways to navigate various aspects of travel.

Go ahead and make shadow puppets flip the bird or do other silly things going through security. Just make sure you have extra time for all the extra screening you'll go through assuming they even let you get through security. It's certianly not something I'd recommed to anybody.

I'll save my imagination for the fun and silly things I'll do with my kids. I want to get through TSA screening as quickly and painlessly as possible. That means cooperation and showing the same respect to TSA agents as I expect to receive from them.

Oh, believe me, there is absolutely no lack of imagination here on the DIS..not even on the stuffy old Transportation board.

I am shutting this one down. There are more than enough threads already going that deal with those stupid screenings. I don't need anymore to watch over.
