“We know that terrorists will implant breast implants with explosives. And the butt-bombs. Heck, any gal who goes through the screening machine with a tampon in could actually be a terrorist”
These devices cannot ‘see’ through skin. Therefor they cannot detect anything inside a person.
So what they have is totally useless. Even if they used x-rays it would be totally useless.
The ONLY option to keep us safe is profiling. There would still be the possibility that somebody could be hypnotized or something, to evade the behavioral detection, but if somebody went to the trouble of hypnotzing somebody they’re not gonna just put a bomb inside their clothes, which is all either of these measures would detect.
Remember the Asian guy who was made up to look like an old man? How did they catch him?
See, this is why just cultural profiling would not be enough. There has to be behavioral profiling. Muslims bent on jihad are just fine dressing up and acting as if they weren’t Muslims; it’s taqiyya. And there are more Muslims who are not necessarily Arab also. But we could stand to learn a LOT from the Israelis’ security. They know how to look for TERRORISTS.
