What a doctor can talk about/divulge, and what an airport security clerk can talk about/divulge are very different things. Whoever said they had airportporn.com was not far wrong.... look at the night time niche.... you don't really "see anything", as it's all green/grey, but then these body scanners are pretty much identical. It's an invasion.

What speaks volumes is that the people that make these things have said they are unsure whether the underpant bomber would have been detected with this technology

And in any case, what's to stop something like a bomb up the jacksy with a wick just protruding out the ass like a tampon string waiting to be lit....
