Hey, Kitten Chow, how come you can't spell anything right? And I thought I was a bad speller!

"I read the link you provided. It's only capable of scanning through clothes. What good would this do for a terrorist smuggling a small amount of explosives in a body cavity?"

Currently, perhaps none, but if the need was felt for that, I would think the technology could be developed to provide that. Perhaps some combination of a normal X-RAY and this technology. My point is that if it became urgent for body cavities to be searched, then I would suspect that technology, perhaps technology similar to this would be utilized before cavity searches.

That look is hard to get. It is usually only momentary just before the cat takes off rocket fast to get some fresh food.

I have plenty of photos of cats eating and sleeping, but only senior VKs can pose like that with confidence.

Why not just search the people carrying bombs and weapons and leave everyone else alone.

If we are really serious about terrorist bringing on small amounts of explosives onto aircraft, why would we not conduct a thorough search of people boarding the aircraft?

If the bad guys *know* we are *not* conducting body cavity searches, wouldn't they just hid it there?

After Ms. Terrorist gets her breast groped by TSA, and boards the plane, could she not go to the restroom and pull out the explosives, and detonate them at 30,000 feet?

I know it's fun to mock posters and go after their spelling and post cute pictures, but what about the above? He seems to have a point here.

If the bad guys *know* we are *not* conducting body cavity searches, wouldn't they just hid it there? Kind of like what happen on the Russian aircraft, that were blown out of the sky.

Why not just search the people carrying bombs and weapons and leave everyone else alone.

HUH?

Look, I am been doing this as a real business for years. EOD stands for Explosive Ordnance Disposal. We use to do all the bomb disposal work for the USSS, FBI and local police. What you are asking for is quite impractical, there are certain risk you just have to take. The only way to stop terrorist is to take the war to the terrorist. Some will get through and Innocent people will die. They have been doing it for years. But what you want will shut the industry down and the terrorist win.

No because the searches are about other kinds of weapons.

If you want to prevent bombs from getting on planes you use bomb sniffing dogs which is exactly what they do use.

And dogs are great for sniffing body cavities.
