New invasive airport security devices

Forgive the cross-posting, but this is important.

From Transgender Tapestry magazine, issue #98 (summer 2002), p. 54-55.

In particular, the Rapiscan Secure 1000 shows airport security personnel a realtime image of your naked body. If you are, for example, an FTM who is binding, they will see your breasts; if you are packing, they will see your prosthesis. Security personnel are viewing scans of same sex passengers, that is if you are presenting as male, and you are asked or volunteer to go through one of these scanners, a male security person will be viewing your scanned image. It is unlikely that these people will be trained in handling transgendered or transsexual passengers with sensitivity or respect.

MISSION STATEMENT FROM CAPTAIN HAYAWAY



Captains log. Stardate 05.06.02.

We continue on our mission to boldly go where lots of transsexuals have no wish to go OUT into the furthest reaches of space.

CREW REPORT

There have been certain problems re crew discipline since my last report. I have been forced to expel several crew members OUT of the airlock due to disobedience of my orders. I must stress that I one of the most reasonable and respected star captains around as my many friends in Starfleet will attest.

I have said it once and I will say it again that if only everybody would see things my way, they would see that I am the most capable of getting us back home.

SENSITIVE MATTERS

I have been asked to be a special ambassador to the Proxima Federation Caucus. To avoid breeches of the Prime Directive it is imperative that this remains secret. Officially we have nothing to do with the Proxima Federation Caucus, unofficially we will be responsible for screening all communications with them and acting as Modulators for Earth Government. It is important to use code to conceal this link at this sensitive time.

EVASIVE ACTION

Recent visits to S-Sector have resulted in attacks against which we have had to defend ourselves from several quarters. The EAGLE starfighters have proved to be a very effective mode of defense. To improve response times the codeword EAGLE ACTION will be sounded whenever we are under attack. So remember-if you spot an attack-EAGLE ACTION!!.

PROJECT RACLE

I foresee that in the next 5 years we will be able to found a colony in space for transsexuals. We can settle a world where we do not have to deal with the outside universe-due to our unique way of looking at things we will find it very hard to cope with life on Earth after returning from our mission.

I will be head of this project and my decision is final. I am asking for the power to expel all those who don’t agree with me-albeit in the most happy smiley way!!
You should think of me more as an office manager rather than your captain if the colony is to survive. Other transsexuals are colonizing worlds of their own under Project Stealth but we cannot expect to be as self-sufficient as them in carving out the galaxy so I am asking for Federation funding to help us.
