I prefer to be stripped seached by the machine than stripped searched the old fashioned way. I have had the latter and it is not fun.

For all intents and purposes, the data is already out there. Our lives are currently scattered among various databases and scoured for information on a regular basis. That will never go away. The only hope for privacy you may have is to drop out of society and go live on a mountain.

The machine exposes anything concealed beneath clothing, including plastic explosives stored in body cavities.

I wonder if this machine would show whether or not a woman has breast implants.

When people give up freedom for security they deserve -- and get -- neither.
