That was obviously an attempt at comedy on the OP's part.

They were slow and stupid, but at least they detected stuff without forcing people to undress and show their private parts to pervert screeners.

OK, anybody who thinks that BDOs are a good idea, or that their program is the least bit effective is certainly no mental giant... It doesn't take a genius to realize that to date the program has detected and/or stopped no terrorists, and that the whole program is a waste of money (heck, TSA as a whole hasn't caught any either).
BDOs have had plenty of chances to "show their stuff" with detecting stressed out people who have caused other incidents that have happened on planes (like the JetBlue FA of yesterday) and have summarily failed at their jobs. What could possibly make anyone think that they could catch a real bad guy, especially when nobody is required to interact with them?
