My prediction: With the implementation of the strip-search machines, Air-travel volumes will fall off precipitously.
Well, you're correct. It's time to befriend the ACLU (perish the thought), because they're all over this "sell" like stink on ****e.

Personally, I think it's ridiculous, and would love to know whose pockets in Congress these scanners are lining.

CNN had an article that stated -- flatly at that -- bomb sniffing dogs are much more accurate. Plus, they don't kiss and tell (or upload to the TMZ website).
