- hga 16y agoThe threat profile of "prevent a hijacking" and "prevent a bomb with no metallic content from bringing down a plane" are very different. I don't see how the TSA (as constituted, see below) can do the latter without the scanners ... it's how they're approaching this, most especially the deliberately punitive enhanced groping if you opt out or if the scanner can't image you properly that's one facet of the problem. At its base, by looking for weapons instead of terrorists ... well, we've decided that profiling is an ultimate evil and cannot be continenced. Unless we reverse that....
