I am with you ellemay. I had to fly to Vegas a few weeks ago and we intentionally went to a small airport to avoid the scanners at the the larger one. The real irony is that cargo is not put through the same careful inspection. It was reported recently that frieght customers pressure the airlines to move their goods as quickly as possible and that means avioding tight inspections of what is being shipped. Its crazy because most of the airline bombs that took down planes.... eg the Air India bombing.... the bombs were in the cargo. Not on a passenger.

The body scanning is just a ruse to make us think we are flying safer. Not true.
