That would be the day!!!!


ETA: Responses from Kettles on CNN..


The article states a number of weapons have already been found - well worth it then! If you don't want to go through these machines then opt for the strip search, don't want that either? then don't fly!
I hope that all airports have these machines installed. In Russia they have been in use for some time and no one has complained. They are great and do help passengers feel safe for the work they do.
wow how sad....9/11 alone should make you want to protect yourself and those you love.. you must not have known someone who died that day.. I DO.. and wish they had they a long time ago.. maybe a few hundred people would still be walking around today... and not buried 6 feet under.. if you don't like the security measures find another way to travel....... pretty simple to me.. it is a CHOICE to fly.. you could always take a train/car/bike/foot... no one is forcing you to get on a plane...
To hell with these groups. Use the imagers.
This is for you dimwits who are against it. Think about the next time you fly with your children or a loved one. Look at those individuals and tell them that you don't care about putting their safety in danger as long as you have your rights. Wouldn't you do anything in the world to protect them? This is a small price to pay.
If everyone can't be trusted, then no one should be trusted. I have no problem with these things. In order to protect everyone then a little privacy needs to be given up. The more technology you can put in between a potential terrorist and a plane, the better.
