Subject: Where the sun doesn't shine
Dave,
Just a quick thought on the plane attack attempt and all of the renewed
talk about full body scanners.
Assuming we get around the cost, slowness, massive privacy problems,
radiation concerns, and other issues surrounding full-body scanners,
doesn't it seem likely that dedicated would-be bombers will find
*somewhere* else to put their incendiaries and such?
And just how will that be defended against without full-strength (not
"soft") x-rays and/or body cavity searches?
