The underwear bomber’s Christmas Day attack has prompted calls for the increased use of full-body scanners at airports that would strip-search passengers down to their naked bodies.

So to protest the use of the so-called Nacktscanner (naked scanner), members of the Pirate Party in Germany organized a “fleshmob” of people who stripped down to their skivvies last Sunday and converged on the Berlin-Tegel airport. They posted a video of their protest to YouTube, with soundtrack provided by Muse’s song “Uprising.” The lyrics articulated their protest: “They will not force us. They will stop degrading us. They will not control us. We will be victorious!”

Warning: The video above has mild nudity so may not be safe for work.

The protesters marked their bodies with a number of messages such as, “Something to hide?” and “Be a good citizen — drop your pants.”

One woman has the word “diaper” scrawled on her lower back with an arrow pointing to her underwear and the word “prosthetic” printed on her leg. The word “piercing” and an arrow point to one of her breasts. Another woman dressed in a beige sweater and flesh-colored tights wears a sign reading “pixelated.” (To address privacy concerns, security officials say the scanners can be programed to produce a blurred, pixelated image of passengers to protect their modesty.)

The full-body scanners use high-frequency radio waves to produce an image of a passenger’s naked body beneath clothes. Anything a passenger is carrying against the body — weapons, drugs or explosives — would be exposed. The scanners would also reveal the presence of prosthetic devices and breast implants.

As such, there have been privacy and legal concerns raised about the invasive equipment, particularly because it’s unclear if the scanners would be able to detect explosives hidden in body cavities and would therefore likely provide only minimal security.

German and Dutch authorities announced this week that they would be working together to test and possibly deploy full-body scanners in the two countries over the next year. The move comes in the wake of concerns that a would-be bomber was able to board a flight from Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport on Dec. 25 wearing packs of chemical explosives concealed in his underwear.

Although Amsterdam has been conducting a test pilot of full-body scanners since 2006, the armed passenger was not scanned by one of the devices before boarding his flight to Detroit. European Union regulations do not currently allow mandatory use of the equipment.

The scanners are currently being used in about 19 U.S. airports, though the Transportation Security Administration has plans to deploy about 300 more. The machines are used on a voluntary basis only; passengers can opt to have a full-body pat down instead of being scanned.

Parrot has setup a YouTube channel to carry all the important info about the AR-Drone. You can watch more videos of the bots as they get tested for the first time, calibrate their vertical camera, and run their batteries in the snow. This thing is just so freakin’ cool. Evidently everyone seems to think so as Parrot’s website is over capacity for traffic. We’ll keep you up to date as pricing and availability become known. Anyone who gets their hands on one of these things should let us know…and then send me their AR-Drone. Please.

Mile-Wide Pyramid UFO Hovers Over Russia’s Kremlin Same Day as Norway Spirals Like a Scene from Stargate: Video
Tuesday, December 22, 2009
By Editorial Staff

A giant gray pyramid UFO spacecraft estimated to be one-mile wide was caught hovering over the Russian government center Kremlin in Moscow the same day as the mysterious blue and white spirals appeared over Norway on Dec. 9, around the time of Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize in what looks like a scene out of Stargate, Independence Day, District 9 or Star Wars!

Hundreds of people witnessed the UFO first-hand.

Videos of the unexplained craft hovering for hours in the sky above the Red Square during the night and day have rocketed to the top of the most-viewed videos on Russia’s YouTube according to the first reports by various Russian news.

However, the video was not reported on the English-language digital channel RT: Russia Today until Dec. 11 and was not picked up by British and some American press until this Friday Dec. 18. when the U.K.’s Daily Mail, The Sun, Telegraph.co.uk and Mirror.co.uk covered the event.

The Daily Mail reported the event occurred Dec. 9 because of the Russian news stories, such as Russia Today’s report and Russian witnesses.

UFO AT NIGHT FROM VIDEO FOOTAGE

In sub-par reporting-fashion Telegraph.co.uk, The Sun and Mirror.co.uk did not include a date for when the UFO was filmed in their articles posted Dec. 18, which is strange and points to their own confusion or is an effort to disinform readers.

One of Russia’s most popular news groups Pravda Online, which used to be Russia’s leading newspaper and an official part of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, did not report of the event until Dec. 18 and then fabricated the date of the UFO sighting by reporting it occurred on Dec. 18, even though Russia Today had already reported on the event by Dec. 11 and posted a YouTube video of their telecast.

It seems Pravda’s report is meant as disinformation so people who did not see the other news stories would believe the Moscow UFO from Dec. 9 was not seen the same day as the Norwegian spiral UFO.

The explanation of the spirals was that it was a failed nuclear missile test by Russia; however, the government could be lying.

What is stranger than the possible alien craft is that news around the world has covered the oddity, but barely any news has covered this monumental event in the United States, which is another sign of the lackluster quality of the corporate media in America.

The ones that did cover the UFO sighting briefly touched on it, such as the New York Post carried a YouTube video on Friday.

The Sun stated that Russian news has tried to squash alien UFO conclusions, but Russian police refuse to comment on the Moscow UFO.

A spokesperson for aerospace experts Jane’s News said, “We have no idea what it is.”

Nick Pope, a former analyst for the Ministry of Defense’s UFO desk who worked there for three years, told the Daily Mail it is “one of the most extraordinary UFO clips I’ve ever seen.

“At first I thought it was a reflection, but it appears to move behind a power line, ruling out this theory.”

There have been past claims that UFOs have interfered with nuclear missile tests in what seem to be warnings to people to not use the deadly weapons, which might explain why the Egyptian-like pyramid UFO flew over Russia’s government center after the spirals occurred in Norway supposedly caused by a Russian missile.

Are these UFOs alien, are they government military craft or are they alien craft that work with the governments?

Martin Sheen supports his son Charlie Sheen in questioning the official story of 9-11.

At a recent Peace March in Los Angeles, Steve Wright of WeAreChangeLA asked Martin Sheen if he supports his son Charlie Sheen in promoting 9-11 [Truth].

“I know he had some serious questions, and I think all of us should be inquisitive about that. We should know what really happened. I don’t know. There are some very troubling unanswered questions, and I think that’s all Charlie is wanting to explore. So I support that.” – Martin Sheen
