Jokes about wee wee-wee lead to beating -

Rolando Negrin, 44, was charged with aggravated battery after he used a police baton to beat Hugh Osorno on Tuesday. According to a police complaint, Negrin was upset following a training with whole body scanners with other co-workers.

"The x-ray revealed [he] has a small penis and co-workers made fun of him on a daily basis," the complaint read.

This body-scanning stuff needs to stop. The Khan story makes it clear it's a total lie to say these things get deleted (not to mention that makes the process useless for investigating terrorism). Please, folks, quit being so scared, I'm losing too many rights and freedoms when you keep panicing.

The invasion of privacy is not worth the illusion of safety it provides.  To say nothing of the expense of such things.
