Calls for Full-Body Scanners Re-Ignite Privacy Concerns

This is typical government. Instead of actually seeing what went wrong (In this case, procedures were not followed) they just add a layer of stupidity.

I'm sure the added measure is not in lieu of any other investigation. Talk about stupidity...

Maybe we should take an example from the dogs and have all passengers sniff each others butts before boarding the plane?

Well here is a thought about full body scanners, so obvious I didn't think about it.

New scanners break child porn laws?

Wonder what we will do about this, AND if we are Politically Correct, and stop allowing children to pass through, how many children of Al Queda will be headed for the airport?

The calls for airports to expand the use of full-body scanners in the wake of the attempted bombing of a Northwest Airlines flight have re-ignited privacy concerns from groups and lawmakers who have long said the scanners produce graphic images that could make their way onto the Internet.

The Transportation Security Administration currently has only 40 of the scanners in operation, but it has purchased another 150 and plans to deploy them next year. The agency plans to buy another 300 next year, and some officials are calling on the agency to move quickly in using the new technology, which allows TSA officials to peer under clothing for any contraband. It is believed that the machines would have detected the PETN explosive sewn into the underwear of the alleged would-be bomber last week.

This is amusing in retrospect. Here we have evidence that Willow changes her mind depending on the prevailing talking points.
