Perhaps I will come around at some point, though I've been against them for such a long time and just have a desire to be subjected to it yet.. I could totally see WTMDs being phased out as seen in other airports around the world, such as those in Australia, parts of Europe, the UK and others, especially with TSA trying to have technology developed for screening in motion.
