The fact that you’re completely exposed going through airport security raises important issues of self-esteem and how comfortable you are in your own skin.

This is an interesting post, not for your personal growth or to better yourself, at least in the traditional sense.

Just seeing the title of the link of this article/column and you’ll get the gist of it:

It “bares” looking at (I know, that initially was an unintended pun, although after I realized what I said, I decided not to “take off” the quotes… or ‘screen’ my comments

To “strip it down”…

Looks like the airport screeners, the TSA employees in a back room checking you out – in all your living glory – are being paid very well to look at nude pictures all day…. because they’re seeing everything.

It’s interesting to talk about because it forces us to think about how comfortable we are “posing” for people in the back room, as well as caring or not caring what they potentially could be doing with these “well-exposed” images of us.

Do you want someone snapping your picture as you’re walking through security and posting it on the Internet, so your posterior is there for posterity?

I’m not saying that will happen. I’m just saying we have no way of knowing what happens with our unauthorized “paparazzi” nude image.

This issue also gives us pause to reflect upon the issue of nudity, our bodies, and the whole “sex is sin” morays that have been used since the dark ages to control people. (Or if you don’t want to go there, then just think about what could be more natural than going through the airport exactly as you came into the world, completely naked!)

In other words, you had to be taught to associate nudity with shame or shyness or whatever associations you may have. I’m not meaning to imply these things are good or bad, just that they are. Most likely “they” will be able to sweep this under the rug and keep most people unaware someone is seeing their full-monty and very few will be the wiser. (And these greater issues will not come to the surface, so to speak.)

However, you and I would benefit from looking at them for ourselves.

For example my first thought was “I don’t care whether someone sees me naked, although I’m not sure I want some guy gawking at my girlfriend naked” when we’re traveling together.

Although at the same time, I have previously raised the issue of us going to a nude beach together, just to see what she would think of that.

That idea of a nude beach, where people have the choice to go or not, and in most cases whether they go bare, and how much, may be the solution to the airport “runway show”.

How about if they show what the person in the back room sees – up front and personal – for everyone going through that checkpoint to see?

Or, what if we take that a step further, so when we step out of our shoes, we also remove all our clothing – and have the TSA people nude, as well, so we’re all on equal footing?

(I’m kind of playing. And kind of serving as the agitator, to bring up important societal issues, which address the core of why post people do not enjoy the success and happiness then deserve and would otherwise have – self-esteem.)

In other words, the whole “beauty myth” obsession that gets so many people hung up on their appearances and ashamed of themselves when they feel they don’t measure up to the expected ideal people who buy into the beauty myth have.

That’s a HUGE thing for people to come to terms with (and let go of and blow right past that expectation).

Can you imagine the day when you walk up on stage and proclaim: “I stand before you, completely with no masks, bathing in all my glory and beauty – feeling confident and secure.”

And everyone cheers and applauds because you’re comfortable in your own skin.

That would be something worth seriously thinking about – and manifesting!
