I love how the only conclusion the locals here can arrive at is this one

Real lack of imagination there, guys.

There has been minimal investigation performed into what is / isn't necessary to thwart these scanners. I believe I've read pretty much everything on that particular subject that has been publicly released. Believe me - it's far from being as straightforward as the picture you paint. Have a read for yourself and let me know what you think then ^

You've already lost this battle folks - it's worth focusing your boundless vitriol on an issue that needs to be fixed
