US to drop X-ray airport scanners by June because of privacy concerns; other scanners staying

I would agree that this is a big problem. Both ways. May I suggest maybe having people step into a private booth that only a sworn officer is bound to secrecy on privacy matters.

I don’t know, but given the choice to passengers, maybe it should be left up to them.

Removing security isn’t exactly high on my list of priorities given airplanes slamming into buildings.

The only remaining issue is the frequent flier. Who is exposed repeatedly to multiple doses of X-Rays.

Now that’s a problem ! Get doctors and scientists working on that issue too.
