Scanners

Obama to announce new airline safety measures

Why won't they just add full body scanners (like RapiScan or the one LG makes) to all airports? Yes, it will be a pretty big capital outlay, but it will nip this problem in the bud, and we wouldn't have to "profile" people, so that Al Qaeda can just get someone to walk through security that doesn't fit the profile.

I k...now someone seeing an electronic image of you semi-nude might make you uncomfortable, but so would being blown up at 35,000 feet. The reality is that the screeners who are looking at the images are in a different room (if the system is setup correctly), and they never even see you face to face, so it's pretty hard to get embarrassed.

I am very rarely in favor of more invasive security measures, but this is one I can live with considering the security it would give us when traveling. Hell, I'd take this over warrantless wiretaps any day.
