I agree with Russ - bring on the scanner. I have nearly two million miles on Delta, and another million or so on American, so I'm spending a lot of time in line waiting for inspection by the the TSA and their brethren throughout the world. I have to say that other than the ridiculous rules about liquids (don't get me started), and the long lines, I've found the security measures to be relatively painless. I admit I've never had an instrusive pat-down inspection, but I have gone through different scanners at many different airports and have no problem with them (although that machine in Detroit that blows air in your face and through your clothes is particularly annoying). People who worry about someone seeing them "naked" in the new scanners need to get a life; and I believe the worries about health issues resulting from x-rays or other technologies are just excuses to complain. Let's use the technologies we have, and make them mandatory. Or you can exercise your freedom of choice, like RichieLion, and not fly. I'm good with that response, and I don't understand why so many people are taking him to task over his opinion on this.
