There are better ways to do airport security. Like Israel.
Note that this (Israel's) strategy protects the airport itself, not just past the checkpoint. Someone could easily bring a bomb and blow it up in line at security.
Also, consider the unknowns in radiation from the new scanners. Ionizing radiation (breaks DNA bonds), that's concentrated on your skin (instead of dispersed throughout the body like an X-Ray). Enough studies have not been done.
I get enough radiation just being 30,000 feet in the air, I don't need anymore, especially flying 50x a year, and going through a full body scanner potentially every time.
The most I can do is opt out and get groped. I don't really care about people touching me, in fact I'll moan a little bit and close my eyes, just to make the TSA a little less comfortable . |
Isreal does a great job. Our security officers are not even in the same ball park when it comes to the training they get in Israel. It wouldn't be hard to implement the type of system they have in Israel but I'm sure people would be in an uproar when the cost to fly increases 100%. The increase in cost of training and cost of staff would be very high and that is going to get passed down to the customers. The cost to fly is already too high.
