I don't know if there is a single government agency more universally reviled than the TSA. I cannot think of a single person who supports this, and yet it happens.
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
"Chertoff has been an advocate of full body scanners at airports. In 2010 he admitted that a client of his security firm, the Chertoff Group, is Rapiscan Systems, one of the two manufacturers of this technology."
Then again, I know lots of people who'd support this...
Makes me think of the scanners in "Total Recall"
And yes, I get the whole "Give Up Liberty for a bit of safety, Deserve neither" argument. Though, I'm guessing some might argue that Airplane flights today are safer than they were in the 80s, and continue to get safer even _past_ the fact that people can't get into the Pilots Cabin, and passengers know they have to fight back in the event of a hijacking...
In contrast, air travel has become horribly inconvenient for almost everyone due to the security theater. We have nonsense restrictions, much longer wait times to get to our gates, and invasive sexual assualt security checkpoints.
We've given up far too much for little or no benefit.
