A scan doses you at the same level of radiation you will get from TWO MINUTES of cruising altitude flight on the jet you’re about to board.

Intensity isn't everything; wavelengths matter. And questions have been raised about DNA resonance effects of the millimeter-wave machines.

I know the scanners don’t detect everything but I don’t care. I want them there. I want as much anti-bomb technology as possible.

So presumably you won't mind when your plane is blown up by a body-cavity bomb which none of this will detect (maybe it can be disguised by adding packets of cocaine?), or a bomb carried by a Muslim under her burka somewhere below her shoulders where Obama says she cannot be patted down, right?

But if you're happy with this, then good on you.

Just because the scanner doesn’t perform EVERY security function is not a logical argument for removing it from the quiver of countermeasures.

Not every FReeper agrees about the scanners, OK?

You did NOT read what I wrote and you PRESUME to know what I think.

I wrote that I KNOW the scanners won't find everything but I want as much anti-bomb technology as I can get.

That does NOT mean I'd be happy with someone who figures out a way of thwarting that technology.

And I SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED that I am totally and completely opposed to any kind of exemption for muzzies.

So please read what I write before commenting on what you THINK I said.
