If this is true (and I don't see why it wouldn't be) that is some crazy shit. But more importantly I had no idea Adam Savage was this funny (watch the video):

Savage says he was shepherded through the body scanner "which, for some reason, makes my penis feel really small" and, once he got to the other side, discovered something quite surprising.

While his junk had been fully inspected, the ordinary scanner/all-over body scanner tandem seemed to have missed the blades.

Savage says he was somewhat alarmed at the TSA's apparent inattention. "My tiny junk is offended," he said.

Everyone appreciates that the TSA's job is not an easy one and that it's always hard in life to judge who is worth closer inspection.

However, one can only hope that, over the Thanksgiving period, the systems do manage to at least catch up to all the 12-inch razor blades that might be passing beneath their physical and metaphorical noses.
 
Needs more cobalt 64.

"What the **** TSA?"

That needs to go on his t-shirt.

It's kind of amusing this whole TSA scenario how the biggest screamers are the conservatives. It was from their politicking and fear mongering over the years that has led to more and more strict security measures because they think every flight they get on is going to have a suicide bomber on it. Election cycle after election cycle it's always TERRORISTS TERRORISTS TERRORISTS SACRIFICE FREEDOMS FOR SAFETY and now they don't want their dicks and vaginas being scanned.

So thanks a lot assholes!
 
wasnt there a simple metal detector?
 
Nobody gives a shit about your bodies except you, your lover or some random males or females ogling you.

I mean Jesus Christ, there's a lot better shit out there on the internet than what crappy stuff your body has to offer in the form of a terrible image scan.
 
The fact that we can be ogled, and that criminal cases from the TSA involving just that, is the problem. The only power the government will not abuse is that which it is not given.
 
I can only wonder at the percentage of the millimeter-wave vs. backscatter. The former is safe, the latter probably is not.
 
thanks a lot terrorism. you hurt us yet again. also I see a lot of dicks on both sides of the fence regarding terrorism.
 
I see a lot of dicks

You sure do buddy, you sure do.

These scanners are such bs, all they do is promote a slack in vigilance. It'd be more beneficial and cost-effective to just hire more employees to give people the stink eye.
 
Some of the comments are gold:

I think that person in the remote viewing booth might've been to focused on Savage's junk to see the razor blades.

LOL

"Enhance, Stop"
"Move in, Stop"
"Pull out, Track right, Stop"
"Center in, Pull back Stop"
"Enhance 15 to 23"
"Give me a hard copy right there"
 
In america we have the amazing power of x-rays so the carry on bags go through an x-ray machine.

yeah but what about having some old fashioned metal detectors? you get extra safety!
 
12" razor blades? I know the dude has a beard and all but isn't that a bit ... big?

edit- right, I saw 'em now. What are those things?
 
Every time I board a plane I'm sporting a 12" 'weapon'.
