X-ray screening for airline passengers to be tested in Phoenix

Excerpt:

Sky Harbor International Airport here will test a controversial new federal screening system that takes X-rays of passenger's bodies in an effort to find concealed explosives and other weapons.

It amazes me that this story keeps getting billed as the "controversial x-ray". Have they taken any polls? How many Americans oppose this? Or is it just the ACLU? Typical reporting by the lefties.

I oppose planes. So I wouldn't be a good weigh in with my opinion.

I wonder what the x-ray exposure level is. Will a frequent flyer get overdosed?

Why don't they just cut to the chase and require that everyone fly naked, chained into their seat, and drugged into unconsciousness?

My thoughts exactly.Exposure to radiation is cumulative over one's lifetime.Frequent flyers,airline crew and people who have had radiation therapy might have reason to be concerned,IMO.

Looks like what you're talking about is probably the the pin on her blazer, and a coin in his pocket.

She looks 20 pounds heavier on xray. How can that be?

I don't think she doesn't look heavy. Her jacket is on in the prior picture.
