Airport body scanners are less effective than metal detectors

Should this be surprising? Our government uses the tragedy of 9/11 as an excuse to waste American tax dollars to make money for private companies (who "donate" money to elected officials), despite the fact that the change invades our privacy even further and works LESS than the metal detectors.

Sounds like typical government spending to me. Using fear mongering and tragedies to make money. Imagine that!

That's a timeless art used by business people and governments alike for as long as humans have roamed the Earth. Don't really have a problem with the machines. What I do have a problem with is the a**holes that run the machines. I've encountered so many rude TSA agents in the last year it isn't even funny.

I was pleasantly surprised flying out of DFW last month. I left a water bottle in my bag and when I saw it go through the xray machine, I figured I knew what was coming. "You dumb MFer there's like a billion signs, you've been told 100 times no liquids blah blah blah." But the dude was straightforward and joked with me as he searched my bag. He was very nice and polite.

I guess with all the 9/11 bullshat I figured that TSA were a bunch of hardasses about everything. I'm sure there's some good and bad TSA agents. TTYTT, I don't even know if this guy was TSA, or if theres just some airport security mixed in at the security gates.

extra large bottle of contact solution is still allowed. Of course a baby bottle of formula requires extra scrutiny (even when the wife was carrying the baby with her). Damn 4mo terrorists ruining it for everyone

The main problem that I have with the machines is that...they DON'T work as well as metal detectors.
