I question the fact that these scanners are being used at all, especially in light of evidence to suggest they don't work.
But when I get to an airport I have two choices:-
1. Get scanned and get on the plane on the way to my holiday.
2. Refuse to be scanned and be questioned by officials and refused the right to fly.
I know which one I'm going to choose.
I have nothing to hide and this thing isn't going to kill me so I see no problem with it. Let them play with their new toy as long as it doesn't hurt me (or anyone else who steps inside it) I'm not too fussed.

Dogs can be trained to sniff for explosives. Just have one dog per metal detector.

Oh No!! Are they checking your mettle as well as metal content?

I have a problem with most things introduced by the authorities, especially in the area of "security", but this doesn't particularly bother me TBH.

Actually the foreign English ladies like this accent - just as well, the amount of times I have to phone companies about stuff that hasn't been delivered etc. One girl said she loved the accent (alongside the foreign Scotch accent), and especially when we say 'dead on' _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

I'd prefer someone to see my nuts than have a dog sniff them, sharp teeth that close to your tackle

Sorry Andrew, but I love it when typo's still apply in the context of the original post I quite like the idea of a machine that can assess a persons mettle  _________________The Official "Saucy Minx" This above all: To Thine Own Self Be True "Red sky at night, Shepherds Delight"..Which is a bit like Shepherds Pie, but with whipped topping instead of mashed potato.

It stares you out while you walk past it. If you flinch then you're not allowed on the flight. I love it

So I guess that means I'll have to stop smuggling drugs out of the country?  _________________Still the official cheeky one

Caz we already talked about this, it's bad for your health, the stress and money just aren't worth it.... Do I need to carry out another "intervention"? _________________The Official "Saucy Minx" This above all: To Thine Own Self Be True "Red sky at night, Shepherds Delight"..Which is a bit like Shepherds Pie, but with whipped topping instead of mashed potato.
