TSA changes rules for who must go through body scanner
The Transportation Security Administration can now mandate some passengers go through a body scanner even if the travelers ask to opt out and get a full body pat down instead. Mandated screening for some passengers would be "warranted by security considerations in order to safeguard transportation security," the TSA said in a document updating the protocol. The change is coming at a time of heightened concern about aviation security and terror plots against commercial aviation. (www.cnn.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
At this time, I'm less concerned about weapons than explosive materials. Seems to me that trained dogs would be a better solution. Cockpit doors are secured now, and I haven't been on a flight in the last 10 years that hasn't been jam packed.
Lonely travelers can still get the full pat-down on request, even if they are subject to mandatory scanning.
HAHAHAHAHA
TSA: Yet another Bullshit Gov't entity chock full of corruption and a bloated budget.
Not all airports have body scanners so it a lost cause. Going through France, Germany, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, New Zealand standard walk through scanners and wands.
I like the idea of on the spot profiling suggested by rmchambers. Certainly a greater chance that a human could detect unusual behavior than a techno screen.
