@hetgow point taken!

Yea I have heard that song & dance before & that dog don't hunt.

I worked in secure military facilities stateside & overseas and yet despite all the 'rules' it was the ppl at the bottom (like tsa agents getting paid low wages) who would break the rules over & over again.

Fact remains the full body scan is nothing compared to the tremendous amounts of cargo, hundreds of thousands of tons on a daily basis, that is shipped by air & sea that NEVER gets checked.

@hetgow actually, the person who reviews the images is locked off in a small room and isn't allowed to bring in a cell phone. In fact, when we shot the report we were able to bring in our big HD camera, but had to leave our cell phones in a basket outside. Now of course, they can break the rules and bring their cell phones in, but that's the policy. No phones in the screening room.
