DO NOT GO THROUGH THE NAKED BODY SCANNERS.. You would have to be an idiot to let your wife and kids go through this, while the perverts watch them naked. This has been brought in through scaremongering. statistically your 1000's times more likely to be killed every time you get in a car than be in a terrorist attack but people are happy to live in tyranny for supposed "safety" ...BOYCOTT BODY SCANNER AIRPORTS

Yeah you got that right! And now the Whitehouse has released footage of BO and his defence team discussing the failings of the intelligence services. WTF?? The CIA should stand for 'Can't Inform Anyone!' I heard three of his democrats walked out of office yesterday.. as two of Browns cabinet ministers tried to topple him.

former DHS secretary Michael Chertoff, who now heads the Chertoff Group, which represents one of the leading manufacturers of whole-body-imaging machines, Rapiscan Systems. For days after the attack, Chertoff made the rounds on the media promoting the scanners, calling the bombing attempt "a very vivid lesson in the value of that machinery"—all without disclosing his relationship to Rapiscan. According to the Washington Post.

I smell something fishy in all these stories about security...what the governement is up to is beyond my understanding...it is obvious they are protecting "something" else and not the already terrorised public..

yeh and its not like they can dismiss him like they did with the 9/11 witnesses who experienced secondary explosions because he was already on cnn and fox giving his story. He did go on alex jones tho which in my opinion was not a great idea cuz I tend to think alex jones diminishes credibility on any subject.

@qualityrkc

Well said, the scanners would even work properly anyway, some other guy hid a bomb between his genitalia and it was not detected. This is about money and war and then more money.

Re-read my post please, apart form privacy issues, there is health concerns, and issues of perverted security looking at pictures of naked children. The government IS interfering in private commerce, they are the ones who want all this crap, who do you think the video of the stuffy suits was. SECONDLY Some poeple have to fly because of their jobs. AND don't say get another because that ain't so easy to do just now.

I bet former congressman Tom Foley and former senator Larry craig will be the monitors.
