ya jingling baby

remember getting conned as a kid with those x-ray glasses ads in the back of your comics? mixed in among the “1000 army men” and “amazing sea monkeys” there was that one x-ray glasses ad that sent you into weird flights of 8 year old fantasy, imagining your teacher, or the librarian, or satan knows who laid bare before your awesome 1 dollar peeping power! muuuuhahaha! i can’t remember whether i was the skeptical sort even then or whether i just didn’t have a dollar to spare. in either case i never realized my x-ray dreams. the folks at london’s heathrow airport, however, are another story altogether. they have recently installed the first truly clothes (read: dignity) stripping x-ray machine and the results are pretty wild. click the thumbnail for a peep. maybe this technology will get the screeners to actually start paying attention?
