I think I prefer the pat downs. The idea of some random stranger seeing me in all my glory is too embarrassing.

Having been a radiological controls professional in a former life, I know exactly how many RADs or roentgens or REMs are safe for members of the general public, (as opposed to “radiation workers” who’s jobs require daily exposure to radiation). The amount of exposure produced by these AIT machines is minimal to the point of nearly being undetectable, and pose NO threat. On the other hand aircraft crews, and daily flyers may receive enough annual exposure to cause a long term problem (increased risk of cancer twenty years from now); especially if they spend many hours at altitude each day.
That being said, the issue at hand is not the health hazards involved, except of course for aircraft crews; but the privacy problem. I’m relatively sure that the pervert watching the screen will soon become so inured to ogling folks’ privates that after the first few tens or hundreds he/she won’t even notice. My concern is that they don’t become complacent. |

Besides, flying is fun, I agree, but it's way more fun to actually see the country your passing through! People should start to un-hurry (as we see here) more! Enjoy the life! Can you imagine the books you can read while being driven to your location, without the stress of getting through airport security, or even the stress of packing your suitcase to stay within the weight limit! |

Not all grandmas can be safely excluded however - I'd like to point out that there is one here at MR that probably deserves a second look - especially if there are chickens on the flight.

I believe most of us miss a most important argument here - heard it's going to be raised by unions soon - the complains from airport security officers loosing their appetite at the end of a day...
