They have a very effective method. It's called profiling. I totally agree with you about the invasiveness of the TSA. And they know it won't keep you safe. It's just another way for them to turn the kettle up on the almost boiling frog. My husband had just been reading about how Israel has not had a terrorist attack on any of their airplanes since 1967.

I wouldn't mind too much if it was used on me for instance. However, I then realized that while I wouldn't mind if I was getting scanned, I would not want my sisters, mother, or any of my girl friends to be scanned. I guess I'm a prude. As to whether it would even work. I've heard that this device would not have caught the underwear bomber. I at first wasn’t too concerned about the use of this type of tech.

We keep having our rights and privacies slowly stripped away from us, and no one is batting an eye. What's next... body cavity checks? Thanks for this!
