And what about the crotch pat-downs they have been giving people who refuse? Apparently that's not even a safety procedure, it's designed to force people back into the scanners. F-cking bureaucrats will be the death of us all. Oh, I think you're onto something here. 'Naked scanners': Lobbyists

Lemme throw this out there... I blew my knee out badly about 10 months ago, given my current work/family situation I can't have it surgically repaired so I'm wearing a very large brace on my left knee. The brace in question is made out of aluminium and velcro, and I really cant take it off

The irritating thing is that there is a much cheaper and more effective alternative, use trained dogs. From what I remember, (had a prof in grad school who studied this and trained dogs for the FDA and other government agencies), a beagle's nose is sensitive enough to detect trace amounts of PETN
