Yes, indeed. My outraged comment was just that. I didn't mean to distract from this really good question. Sorry. I would like an answer to that, too. If it were for safety, they'd have to literally strip search women with a breast prothesis just like they make wearers of artificial limbs take them off to screen them. If they don't do that it is a huge security loophole. And if they do it, it is a huge offense to women who have been through an already horrible thing (my mother has, but she was lucky that they caught it early). So I feel quite connected to this woman specific issue (men get breast cancer, too, btw) as well as to the overall question of security vs. human dignity, besides the pragmatic question of what makes sense and if it is a good use of tax payer money.
