im against this, think its terrible.

[adaym]

I want one.

Oh yeh because it matters if someone sees a monochrome image of you naked, with no names next to it. Who cares, even if imges did leak, no one knows who's who..

In any case, people would praise it if it actually found a terrorist

To be honest the images are hardly that revealing in relation to what you see when looking at a person. They are much like ones you have in the hospital. The operator does not see who is being x rayed and therefore cannot judge or get any sense of satisfaction over it and at the end of the day it's quicker, less hassle and security is improved.

It's gotta be the way forward, many would prefer to a pat-down anyway, and if it's going to stop terrorists then hell yeah.

I see no problems with this at all. It will improve security and keep us safe from terrorists.

One more step towards a police state.

Oh my lord.

It's a great tool and a step in the right direction .

I'll apply for the job.

OT: Good step up against threats.

If I walked through that machine I'm sure it could be seen as showing off

Anyway I think it's a pretty good idea, it saves time and offers much more security.
