Ah, when all else fails back to the good ol' fearmongering ^
Do all of these devices expose people to unnecessary radiation? Absolutely not.
Are there specific procedures in place to minimise privacy issues? Of course, but facts don't matter here at TS&S since it is assumed that every TSO is a wannabe voyeur.
Are there specific procedures to allow a passenger's belongings to remain in their sight? Of course. Again, disregarded here.
Are there more pat downs as a result? Make up your mind on this. Either they are happening or they aren't. You seem to be confused on this point
It's hard to have a rational debate with several of the folks here when you all actually seem to be believing your own fearmongering and propaganda.

So you would.... prefer them to be happening? Or not? Or not know whether they should be carried out since you'd rather there were no imaging devices in place that suggested the pax was carrying something on his/her person?
