Do You Oppose Full Body X-Ray Screenings?

The scanners are able to detect weapons and explosives in places security screeners are not allowed to touch in physical pat-down searches, such as the groin area and even body cavities where items could be concealed.

The big problem here is a resistance among the public to submit to things like this. I honestly think that if someone is determined to bring down a plane, they’ll do it. Whether they have to hide in the bushes with a shoulder-fired missile or sneak some new, undetectable explosive through whatever new technology is meant to detect contraband. But what do you think? Would you submit to full-body scans, x-rays or other new technology meant to ‘protect you’ as we get closer and closer to only allowing nude flights in the United States?
