So, my questions are:
A) were there full size, full resolution sample pictures of the images made available to passengers? If not, how could they make an informed choice?
B) Have you read the comments after the aforementioned USA Today article? Me thinks a lot of people aren't as compliant as your passengers in Tulsa.
C) Did you test to see how much time this procedure cost/saved? It might tell you something about trying to use it at higher volume airports during peek [sic] times.
D) Will you please post a full resolution, full size image of both a male and female human so that we may judge the appropriateness of said pictures?
E) What was the experience of children under 18 during the Tulsa experiment? Were they sent through the MMW machines?
How many secondary pat-downs were necessary after people went through the MMW?
F) How long are images saved in these machines? If they are not, are the machines capable of saving images? If not, why not? Wouldn't saved images be important if you really got a bad guy attempting to smuggle some bad thing through security?

YUCK. Please work on better, less intrusive technology.
