I still can't understand how the 7 week trial could be called "successful" when it had a 43% failure rate.
I can't understand if Albanese is hell-bent on introducing these things, why (according to his reading of 16 Feb.) only at international airports? Are domestic airports and flights immune from, um, whatever it is that these scanners will protect us from?
