Comments on: I’m pretty sure I saw Nicolas Sarkozy in a TSA uniform trying to get women to take off their clothes. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure that’s what I saw.

I’d vaguely heard about the Naked Machine, but it wasn’t fully on my radar of “threats to my human dignity” until I read your blog.
And now I learn it’s not just a vague threat in the land of Crazy-Amreekans but it’s right here! On my island! The Naked Machine has come to an airport near me – and I felt compelled to share the horror. Look!

I knew what you meant as soon as you said “The Naked Machine”. I saw one in an airport somewhere, but I can’t remember which one. Fortunately I didn’t have to go through it or I would have raised heck! I too think it’s a total invasion of privacy. I also figured the machine you saw was the puffy-air thing–which I have gone through before–if it wasn’t the The Naked Machine. I half expected the puffy-air machine to tell me I had B.O. or it liked my cologne.

Oh no, that info has been in the public domain for months now. Unless someone is spreading disinformation, it isn’t made up. Unfortunately, the train won’t work for transatlantic travel
