The whole truth in this case would be 'It doesn't use X-rays, but it still shows you without your clothes on.'
My concern to "MY HEALTH and WELL BEING" is that I don't want to be exposed to any unnecessary radiation. There are signs posted that clearly state what type of unit is being used.
I'm in an airport every week. And since the WBI/AIT units have come in to existence it's amazing that there seem to be more of the backscatter x-ray units in operation than the MMW units.
If they want to see my "junk" I don't care. Hell I'd even drop my shorts just for the shock value that I'd enjoy. But the TSA will never expose me to unnecessary radiation.
Who in their right mind thought it would be OK to expose the population to ionizing radiation versus a technology that doesn't is beyond comprehension.
And as for the uneducated population......only when FOX News does a complete investigative story will the Kettles in this country begin to care what is being done to them. Until then, the WBI/AIT units are here to stay.
Because they are the only ones who really care about security
