Are you suggesting that all I need to do to get a gun on board an airplane is to stuff a gun in my pants in the genital area? Are you suggesting that when this sets off the WTMD and I get wanded; and the wand beeps while in my genital area... are you suggesting that in such a case, my genital area will not be further examined?
If its that easy, then there are passengers with guns on every flight.
