Full Body Scanning at Airports
There is a renewed discussion going on about full body scanning at airports.
It seems to me this is going to happen.
What do you think about it?
Is it an invasion of privacy by big brother?
Would it change your flying frequency?

Supposedly Al-Quada is practicing to beat the scanners.
A body scanner at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport would not necessarily have detected the explosives which the would-be syringe bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab had sewn into his underwear. A Dutch military intelligence source told De Telegraaf newspaper that Al Qaeda has its own security scanners and has been practicing ways of concealing explosives.
Since the attempted attack on the flight from Schiphol to Detroit, Schiphol has been operating tightened security measures. Around 50 extra security staff have been hired in to carry out the tightened checks on passengers to the United States. All passengers to the US are now being body searched at the gate. The airport says that while the chance of discovering any concealed explosives is still not 100 percent, it is at least much higher than it was.

Re: Full Body Scanning at Airports
I heard a former security guy, from Israel, say that the screening should start when the passenger first purchases his ticket. 
Why don't they try that for starters?!!!!!!

Re: Full Body Scanning at Airports
more proof we only get the stupid ones , or GOD himself stopped it. common sense was all that was needed.one, his father tried to get him stopped by reporting to the embassy, than he boards without a passport (witnessed) with the help of an old man,and he pays with cash and he has no luggage to check and then the topper ? asks for a seat over the wings! al queda must have wanted him to get caught because he was so stupid he was a liability. its been reported by people from that area of the world, that the only ones they use for suicide missions are ones who are" soft in the head "

I'll second that motion. That would go over like a lead balloon with Muslim men to have their women scanned.

Re: Full Body Scanning at Airports
Im opposed as long as they have opposite sex personal doing the scanning. I think if they are gonna make it mandatory then they need to have one line for men and one for women
