Last week, TSA began using backscatters at airports to screen passengers for weapons. The first machine is up and running in Phoenix. The next ones will be in New York and Los Angeles.

But even the tempered images tell you more than you need to know about the endowments of the people seated next to you.
This is no joke. The government needs to look under your clothes. Ceramic knives, plastic guns, and liquid explosives have made metal detectors obsolete. Carry-on bags are X-rayed, so the safest place to hide a weapon is on your body. Puffer machines can detect explosives on you, but only if you're sloppy. Backscatters are different. They can scan your whole surface, locating and identifying anything of unusual density—not just metals, which have high atomic numbers, but drugs and explosives, which have low ones.

Sounds an awful lot like "better put some ice on that".

I'm going to put an English cucumber in my pocket and give'em a thrill.
Yep! Mine is the body beautiful.
This technology is gonna prove to be spectacular... once it hits You Tube....

Whatever it takes. Try getting on a C-130 to Diego Garcia some time.
I do fly planes; I don't cross the border.
The old "plastic gun" lie is back!
all the money for this and nothing on the border, I guess you could say that I have a bad attitude, but when my wife was pregnant and couldn't work because of complications, North Carolina wouldn't give me, a veteran and a tax payer, any help with the medical costs..... but an ILLEGAL had gotten a tax payer paid heart surgery..... what is wrong with this picture
Yep, Looks like it already made it to You Tube...
