Probably true. I can fully understand the privacy issues, but on the other hand, there aren't exactly a lot of other good options out there for this type of thing. Unfortunately, this is also a case of what they are trying to do these days, and that is bring the chemical components through and mix them later. It makes it much harder to detect.

I think the body scanners are going to be quite common, and I think people need to accept that fact. Again, I understand the privacy concerns, but at the same time, what else do these people have in mind. And that's the real problem in the US. People aren't dealing with reality in all of this. Just like any airline employee I used to get the famous question "Do I look like a terrorist to you?" And my response - "Did Timothy McVegh?" I've driven around Europe, and that includes crossing the French/German boarder. Back in WW2, I could have told you that was line between enemy and friend. That is not the case these days. These guys live right among the rest of us. But so many of the American public can't accept that fact.

On the other hand, I don't think the TSA is exactly doing a great job either. The problem there is they are so full of bureaucracy it isn't funny.
