Hall: Nude Is Rude But It Isn’t Love
I was almost disappointed while boarding a plane the other day
that nobody wanted to search my body in exquisite detail. I entered the airport terminal patriotically ready for
whatever the
security forces had in store for me - even if that meant
using a level of electronic scrutiny that reveals the absence of weapons
on my peaceful person, albeit at a cost of exposing the saggy old man
beneath my youthful duds. I went into that experience ready to put my best face forward,
not to mention other parts, trying to look as attractive as I possibly
could for my sake and for the sake of the poor inspector. He must stand
there all day looking at constant anatomical imperfection with a device
that peers through clothing/
