What do the images look like to you? I submit that removing clothing electronically is no different from removing them physically, just more expedient.
I'm more interested in how alarms will be cleared with this technology. I haven't seen a description of how they are cleared today. Do they just assume that feminine products are just that? I submit that if they do today a plane will go blooie tomorrow and we'll all be sorry. The aircraft gate should not be the primary point of interdiction for <channeling George Bush> "evil-doers".
We will lose more aircraft and the fault will lie with those allocating resources inappropriately. i.e. body scanners, out of fear.
