The first thing you need to understand is that nothing about these screenings is about security, the x-ray machines are all about the money and the company providing them. I don’t have the time to go into it, but if you look at the people behind the company providing the x-ray machines you will understand.
It is all about installing intimidation, fear and control, and the idea of the public getting used to it. If it was really about security, the techniques used in Israel would be implemented. ID the terrorist not the item; it has been 99.9% effective.
If you still don’t believe, I would ask you one question, why are the people subjected to such extreme measures while baggage and cargo are not? Quick answer is you cannot take away the rights of a bag or cargo.
It’s not about security! It’s about money, control and power! It’s about removing the Bill of Rights, and getting people used to it in the name of security, so when it expands beyond flying the T.V. bots among us, will not fight back and accept the loss of freedom for security. Which of course in the end we will have neither.
