Body Scanners = waste of money

If this is true why are we wasting our time with these body scanners. Who got the kickback ? I really think that private security would be a better deal for all of us.

The radiation from those machines can be dangerous. The groping is probably the lesser of the evils.

I'd like to choose my groper.

The fact is you will receive much more radiation during your flight itself than from the scanner. (it would take 150 body scans to equal the dose received on a coast to coast flight).

Its not the exposure to radiation or a privacy issue that bothers me. It would be the ability to sneak contraband, especially a weapon onto a plane that bothers me.

Something else that is anoying is that we are paying for this service that probalbly doesn't work as good as it should.
