    All I want for Christmas...

    is THIS!



    Airport X-ray sees through clothes

    LONDON, England (Reuters) -- A new X-ray machine at London's Heathrow airport, which sees through passengers' clothes, has been attacked by civil liberties campaigners as a "voyeur's charter."

    The machine uses low-level radiation to see through clothing, producing an anatomically detailed black and white image of the body underneath.
    Alright, what are your guys' wishes for the holidays?

    Looking at the amount of time I spend on here and the number of my posts, a life maybe?

    I think you can order the glasses from the back of a comic book. I'm sure the glasses are samller and more portable.

    Were We a Miss World candidate then We ought to say in a tiny voice: "World peace". Luckily We are male and don't have to say these kind of things so we can hope for a gift card (and We would like if it were of a great sum of money) of a good book shop.
    We just discovered that one can order books from foreign lands and ordered a book by Pratchett. We like Pratchett.

    Oh yes, and also We would like good health, long holidays and snow. Snow, snow, snow. Also We would like to go to countryside an be happy there.

    And We would not be very sure about the things you get behind a comic book. Quite often they don't work or don't work properly or, if they did work properly, then they were of a limited number, and sorry, you didn't get one.
    We think that those glasses behind a comic book would only make us look dorkier (not that We could ever be anything less than very cool and good-looking but still) so We don't want one.

    We have spoken
    If you believe even a half of this post, you are severely mistaken.

    Yes! I too can be a cyborg. Soon.

    Shore due - "The machine uses low-level radiation to see through clothing, producing an anatomically detailed black and white image of the body underneath." - I would wait until they come up with a machine with a censorfuntion so that you only get to see under supermodels clothes. Some information should not be free. Some information should be chained down in a basement.

    We have no tradition of giving gifts here, so I never really want anything for Christmas. Perhaps if it's possible, I just want to have some time talking with my crush in Ausie

    You needn't wrap it. I'll take it just as it is.
