The new airport full body scans

Here's a little song to make you happy:

Good one Stoday

A good thing about the scanners is that people with pace makers can go through them unlike the metal detectors. My Mom is out visiting. She reports that the full body scanners at O'Hare made her trip through the security line faster. In the past she had to be patted down because of a pace maker but this time she was able to go through one of the full body scanners. THe radiation is absorbed by the skin and things inside are undetected and unimpacted.

If anything she sounded a bit disappointed -  I think she was looking forward to being groped.

Is it just me or right after 9-11 all these machines that we go thought just appeared out of no where at each airport? think about it had to be ordered and shipped that would take some time for every airport. makes me wonder if this was a plan in the works before 9-11. I mean its like everything was up and running the next day hmmmmmmmmmm

Maybe they had some plans in the works, but 9/11 was 9 years ago, so most likely they started planning then.
