cologal, I know it is a serious and personal issue for you. I wish there was a solution. I don't want to make this into a Fourth Amendment discussion. I just wanted to share the text of an email a friend sent titled, Solution for Full-Body Scanners at Airports. I thought it was a hoot. Here it is:
All we need to do is develop a booth that you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have hidden on or in your body. The explosion will be contained within the sealed booth.
This would be a win-win for everyone. There would be none of this crap about racial profiling and the device would eliminate long and expensive trials.
This is so simple that it's brilliant.
I can see it now: you're in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter an announcement comes over the PA system, "Attention, standby passengers, we now have a seat available on flight number ..."
