The scanners at airports can certainly detect what kind of junk you have. There are tons of horror stories in trans communities. This one just seems like a hoax though.

I think it would be funny to put these stickers in front of every public restroom to scare the conservatives

[-] Mickey7@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago

I believe what you are saying but really didn't think the scanners were capable of actually seeing your genital area as if it was an Xray

[-] someoneelse@lemmy.ml 34 points 1 week ago

They are talking about the security scanners, those can count the number of pubes you have. The sensors in restrooms do not have any imaging capacity. This is extraordinarily funny, since those sensors are mostly in men's restrooms while all the fake concerns are about women's restrooms.

[-] Mickey7@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Would I be able to fool the scanner if I completely shaved my member and scrotum, and then tucked my member under my thigh?

[-] someoneelse@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 week ago

No. It's a millimeter scan, it is pretty much as if a person saw you naked up front. You have a better chance, in fact, if you don't shave. The hair can disguise the tuck. Then again, any body hair will be visible, so everything must pass. It's close to a black and white naked photo from the front and the back that is a tiny bit blurry.

[-] 97xBang@feddit.online 7 points 1 week ago

So TSA is practically seeing everyone naked? Is that for real?

[-] someoneelse@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 week ago

Naaah, they don't see it, but the machine can. Apparently they see a SW generated outline.

[-] griff@lemmings.world 6 points 1 week ago

Southwest generated outline??

Shorts covered with quartz sequins would scatter the image enough to blind the scanner. Make sure they're mounted with glue instead of metal mounts, or they'll fail the metal detector.

Yes other poster is correct. Those "full body scanners" where you put your hands up can see the full Monty. Big backlash post 9/11 when they started rolling this stuff out. Guess we decided as a society we ultimately didn't care.

[-] Mickey7@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

So what I don't understand is if it works as you say, which I do believe is true, then why the fuck do they jerk you around with taking this off, or that off. It's all just bullshit. It's bad enough that I have to deal with tools on the plane but you just have to fuck with me just to get on the plane

In the display that TSA agents are given, the image is no longer shown and instead the system shows an outline of a body with the questionable area marked. This was added after the aforementioned outrage from travelers so that every TSA agent didn't get an x-ray view of your naked body. The scanners are the same, but the agent doesn't see it anymore.

The TSA scanners at airports really can see you completely nude.

The ones at the toilets are simple IR sensors to detect if the toilet is not occupied so it can automatically flush.

It isn't real. The number listed is for the office of Dan Patrick, Lieutenant Governor of Texas.

[-] Wetstew@lemmy.world 50 points 1 week ago

Seems like it is a protest against the dumb-ass anti-trans shit the people in power in this state are pulling.

[-] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 week ago

The text explicitly says the program is for the lieutenant governor's office.

The question is, would the lieutenant governor of Texas' office be involved in something like this? I'm certain they want to, but would they have the authority? It's my understanding that international airports are exclusively under federal control, not state.

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 23 points 1 week ago

It is meant as rage bait to get gullible people to flood Dan Patrick's office with calls. I respect the idea, but it is still very much fake.

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

For now. It's easily doable with the TSA scanners. In fact, the scanners DID do this, before everyone complained and they were censored.

Shall we wait until it's implemented to complain? I don't remember the right order of operations.

[-] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 71 points 1 week ago

My father was a penis inspector, like his father before him. He had to work for years at a penis factory to get by, working long, hard hours. All while taking penis inspection classes at night. When he finally graduated, he said it was so satisfying to tell his boss he was quitting, and that from now on he would be inspecting his work. He went on to be the best penis inspector in our county, and oversaw Penis Inspection Day at 4 public schools and 7 private for over three decades.

The fact that they think they can automate this entire proud profession with one scanner in a public bathroom is an insulting joke. It's a single camera! How will it check the underside of the shaft for melanoma? Can it check the foreskin for proper length and cleanliness?? How does it check erection durometer? Not to mention urethral diameter. For fuck's sake.

[-] Mickey7@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

I had a friend that took a college course in Penis Inspection. Any freshman could take that course. But you had to be a Senior for the more challenging course "The Penis and the amazing differences between the cut and uncut"

[-] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

A lot of people can get a good handle on the cut segment of the course, but when it comes to the uncut they seem to slip right through the cracks.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

durometer

TIL

didn't ever think I would get so much use out of this when I made it six months ago.

In this case, PC stands for Penis/Cooter.

I don't understand why we haven't played the Uno Reverse card on the "TRANS ARE COMING FOR OUR KIDS" Crowd

"You wanna inspect our kid's genitals to make sure they're using the right toilet? Sir, I don't think you need to be anywhere where anyone's kids are going to be."

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

It won't work on them though. They have no shame

At least in Washington they only use them for research purposes. Found this last year at SeaTac.

I prefer traditional genital inspection

[-] Mickey7@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Agreed. Why can't we have attendants at the door. They just reach down the front of your pants. It's simple and helps the economy adding jobs. And I'll bet they would be overwhelmed with applications. Many of the attendants would say, "Sorry we ran out of vinyl gloves so I need to shove my bare hand down your pants"

Even better the picture is of the automatic flushing part of the toilet and most likely this was placed in the restroom based on the silver background. So now people will think it has a camera rather than just a distance sensor.

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 6 points 1 week ago

Some of them even have a red light that comes on to indicate proximity... This is diabolically genius level trolling!

[-] HowAbt2morrow@futurology.today 16 points 1 week ago

I could share a dick pic or two if needed to get through TSA quicker. Softies, hardies, pre/post horizontal lambada.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

This is PERFECT! People, yes, even liberals, believe every damned thing they see on social media that reinforces their beliefs.

Can you see how this would get conservatives asking questions?! Been saying for years, liberals don't have the balls to fight dirty. I have zero problem with lying, scamming and cheating the fuck out of fascists. Gods I wish I had a color vinyl printer.

Opt in. Use random bathroom. Ruin the dataset.

"Hotdog ... no hotdog ... " That's the first thing I thought when it said AI. I know it's not real, but that just makes it funny.

"Traditional genital inspections"

HA!

This has to be a joke

[-] Reygle@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Idea: Lead-lined underwear with wires inside that when scanned says "Fuck you" on the front and "Eat shit" on the back
