A lot of the people that are jumping up and down about this have not been subjected to the process. They are pissed about the prospect of it and the fact that they may be on the receiving end of it. A lot of the stuff is hype and anecdotal. There have been several reported cases that have been found to be lies and hyperbole. The media is feeding the fire with gasoline and the subject is a hot one. I can say though that since TSA has started this process that we have scored 100 percent on detection of test items.
