Three things..

1) This quote stood out to me: "The TSA says that the units won't be able to print or store images, and that the officer viewing them will have no contact with passengers." If you believe that, I have a beautiful ocean-front property to sell you in Montana!

2) I saw this comment posted below: "I just flew through Amsterdam and they have scanners for all planes headed to the US. It was painless. Takes about 5 seconds for the scan and nothing private is shown. It just like a full-body ex-ray. I was happy to go through with this scan and not have to be patted down or brought somewhere else for a full body search. They people were very respectful of people. They should be in EVERY airport in the US and Canada." Again, this person must be part of the "anything for security" crowd

3) They mentioned sending the nude/porn-o-scope to MCI. I do not see how they will be able to do that, at least in the terminal I fly out of. I always fly UA from terminal A, and the space for security is just big enough to fit one WTMD, how do they plan to bring in a nude-o-scope, unless they have it as primary screening!
