So did those thousands of useless "shoe runners" Admiral Loy the Lying Workfare proponent insisted on hiring. I guess in that clown's eye, you can put a price on safety.

The better technology is the Sentinel II explosives detection system + the WTMD. There is no reason to hit anyone with more radiation and project an image of them onto a screen.
