Whole Body Scanners

[Wobble]

Who makes these things?

Because until you have them installed at every single airport terminal in the world, the bad guys will find, and use, the path that provides the weakest link to security.

do you smell a good stock buy?

If it hasn't been bid up already and the current mfr has some IP/patent protection.

[Knot 4 Me]

All for it. I would give the scanners a good chuckle. "Is that a Ken doll that just went through?!"

Will it show implants? ;-)

As fas as I go.. they can scan what ever the hack they want.
The problem is we got security personnel in Miami that can't speak / read English..
I was "detained" in Chicago and my mostly empty tooth pase was confiscated, yet my Husky.. sort of Swiss Army knife was left untouched in my bag. (I travel a lot, with car and air, and I forgot to remove it from my bag. No one recognized it.
I'm for security that makes sence and works. What we got is a JOKE.
I know employees of Air lines with out Citizenship, by passing security.
I had tools and misc. "articles" that could be used as a "weapon" countless times, and I get my Christmas cookies taken last year becouse they were too big.
The system SUXS.

I sit with mixed feelings on this one....For the last two years EVERTIME I have flown somewere Matt walks right on thru, not a worry in the world. While I on the otherhand have been subjected to "Pat Downs". They are of course always performed by another women. I came to the conclusion that I, am the token patsy. The one that they look for, to eliminate accusations of racial profiling. Well, that is at least what I have been telling myself. But it never fails I always get pulled aside and patted down. Go figure.

So, I am not really sure what is worse the "bull dyke pat down" or the "perv-wray".

Don't really want some public school educated idiot perv doing a body scan on my daughter or wife when I don't think it will really make a difference anyway. Anyone who has the resolve to blow themselves up for their "cause" can find a way to get it on a plane with these geniuses working security. Qualified, educated, professional law enforcement is what is needed, not these rejects working the gates. If you really want to get rid of the problem, allow any law enforcement or concealed weapons permit carriers to travel armed. It'll ruin a hi-jackers day when he starts schit and an 'ol boy from Miss. or LA. pulls out a .357.

these are already useless they(terrorist) have been perfecting storing explosives inside the body thats how they blew up a prince its really not hard to carry a very powerful boomer inside the body watch this vid if you really want to be scared of how this stuff works and kids could do it scary very scary http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=079_1261862556

Not like a cat scan though it may deserve some more study. Cat scans are whole body x-rays and contribute to your total lifetime radiation dosage as does air travel for that matter (about 100 times the level encountered at ground level)

I don't know of anyone who died of a catscan. I've had several myself.

All that matters is from tomorrow forward...

Traders gapped them up after the recent incident, trading at $70 before that. With a dividend and a sub-20 PE it's not a terrible long term pick. If they start getting orders for these machines, it'll run over 100...

And a few 9 MM's and a couple of 44 Mags won't hurt either.
Go ahead.. make my day.

The way the system is set up the person reading the image can not see who is in the scanner, in fact they need not even be in the airport. They just send a signal if they see something requiring further inspection.

I'm afraid that the terrorist techniques have moved on past the point where physical interference is going to make a difference, it would be nice to blow a few limbs off them though

When I was working the international oil fields in the early 80's they set up a drug sniffing machine right in the center of the customs hall at Houston airport. They would pull people out of line including me twice and have them stand in this machine for a couple of minutes in front of hundreds of people. Now that's what I call an invasion of privacy and embarrassing too.
I never saw it make a positive detection and they disappeared after a year or so

It's more like 20/200. Blind as a bat. I think my sister is 20/200.
