BS. These scanners aren't going to stop a single crotch bomber. Israel knows this, which is why they call them 'worthless'.
All any self-respecting terrorist need do is shove his bomb up his rectum or female bomber the other cavity. These scanners don't detect anything underneath the skin. Upon being 'cleared' all the terrorist need do is find the nearest restroom facility prior to boarding (or after in the plane's restroom), remove said bomb, and place it in his/her carryon. An hour later, KABOOM. Now if a little old gramma can figure this out in five minutes you known darn well a terrorist can!
Israel knows this too which is why they profile and interrogate and have a 100% sucess rate. If our govt were truly interested in protecting its citizens rather than humiliating our citizens we would be PROFILING! This isn't about safety. This is about control. Every tyrannical govt always, ALWAYS, takes away freedoms by informing the citizenry its 'for their own safety' or for their 'own good' without exception. Nice to see you rolling over for these tyrants giving up every inch of your liberty.
And if we don't fight back now with the airports, what makes you think these things won't be installed at the work place, sporting events, schools, etc. until the govt has control over every aspect of your life where humiliation and degradation is no obstacle to their fascist agenda? My parting shot to cowards who would defend this abomination:
He who would give away his liberty for a little personal safety, deserves neither liberty nor safety - Benjamin Franklin
Isreal’s technique would have caught BOTH the shoe bomber and the underwear bomber. OUR SUPER-NEW TECHNOLOGY SCANNERS would likely as not have caught either, as best I understand. In other words the TSA police-state-style screening has failed BIG TIME twice.
