Here's a solution to all the controversy over full-body scanners. Have a booth that you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on you.
It would be a win-win for everyone, and there would be none of this crap about racial profiling!! :D

[cdad]

If it only worked that way. But its my understanding that many devices being used have to be assembled in some fashion later. And that's why it can be dangerous.

It is all a load of clap trap about false modesty, what is needed is a team of trained doctors to man the machines, then there can be little objection and they can diagnose a few cancers while they are at it.

Its not about false modesty. Its about placing the wrong kind of person as a screener in a position of being able to go beyond a normal search. There has to be some way of detection that won't fry someone's insides if they fly a lot.

Let anyone who objects fly on jihad airlines with the Fiqh Council of North America ,(whoever the hell they are
),who also appear to have issues with the scans.

Come on Tom, you know that for Muslims it's about modesty, even the sight of a woman's hair inflames their passions so what will happen when all is revealed, but it will have the desired effect, no muslim will fly and the air lines will be safe so let's get on with it

I can think of other places we suggest they stuff their bomb, Tom, but don't worry, you are safe from terrorists, Bush made you safe, Obama makes you safe and X-rays make you safe. It won't be long before you have a tattoo on your forehead and a chip in your arm to make you doubly safe from terrorists.

But there is an easier way, use some of that military muscle and eliminate the terrorists strongholds of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen and Somalia. If you bomb them back to the stone age they will no longer be a threat, at least, not in the life of the present administration. Oh I forgot they are already in the stone age and they are a threat, just shows you how far we have come

The President to his credit has greatly expanded the drone strikes in AfPakia . But what he doesn't get isthat coddling captured terrorist ,who in all probability have actionable intel ,and treating them like common criminals throws an unnecessary monkey wrench to the people who are executing the war.

Eli Lake at the Washington Times is reporting that there is an increased effort by US authorities to hunt down English speaking jihadists who were training in Yemen with Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab .This comes after DNI Dennis Blair testified to Congress that he was "certain" that it was al Qaeda's priority to attempt an attack on the United States within three to six months....that U.S. criminals were migrating to Yemen for terrorist training. Having been recruited by the radical Imam Anwar al-Awlaki.

The Obots have been bragging lately that Abdulmutallab has been cooperative after his silence since he was given the rights of an American criminal who holds up a convenience store.
What that accomplished was a gap of several weeks where Abdulmutallab could've provided fresh intel about these Americans he trained with .

As Lake points out;one US official said "Farouk took a month to get operational. Once he left [training in Yemen], it did not take very long," .

And that's the point... the time unnecessarily wasted in obtaining this info. Could get Americans killed .

As for the Muslims who object to the scanners at the airport;let them walk.

That doesn't just go for Muslims, Tom, let's not be racist about this. Hey, tell me, does the picture of a black man come out as clear as a white man? Can they tell the race of a person with a scanner? If not there goes racial profiling.

But seriously, we don't think the war will be won with drones do we unless it is the drones in the Pentagon they are relying on. It is good there is some success in Afghanistan, we needed some good news but how come they don't have the snow problem there, global warming, I guess, It only affects America

I didn't know Muslim was a race.

They are certainly a race apart and very much from a certain part of the world

Yes the Pakistaniis have been effective too. The battle can be won if everyone works toward the same goal, but cutting off the head of the snake has to be the goal

Indonesia and Morocco share a religion(Islam) but I'm not real sure about genotypes or geography. How do you mean that?

There is something called the ten-forty widow and most of the Muslims are in that window. Coincidentally, so are the semetic races who form a large part of the Muslim population
