So this is nothing new. It's becoming more and more clear that these machines are a fraud.
This makes me so mad. The US economy has not been doing well since 2008 and the government still purchased all these expensive body scanners? They better darn work and do everything they are supposed to do. It doesn't sound like the scanners work well if lots of people still have pat-downs after going through the scanner. We the taxpayers demand accountability to how our tax dollars are being spent. Of course, this will fall to deaf ears in our lovely government. The government does not seem to care about its people anymore. Maybe it's time to move to an enlightened country. Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland? America is the land of the oppressed.
