What's funny is that link goes to an article with the headline of "Higher than desirable."

edit: try this one http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/...-tears/237924/

The scanner doesn't give that much radiation, people are idiots about that as a reason. Flying is much much worse. The reason I don't want to go through it is privacy. I don't want them taking pictures of my junk and I definitely don't want them touching it either.

Ive had skin cancer 5 times now and I'm going for a biopsy next week to see if I can get a double hat trick, yes radiation is a concern for me.

And then someone else comes along and says you're stupid for being afraid of someone taking pictures of your junk. 99% of all males on the planet, literally billions of people, have a penis and testicals.....yours are no different than the rest, so what's the big deal?

So really, there are no valid reasons for not going through the scanner, according to that logic.

It's completely ineffective and a waste of taxpayer time and money, if you're looking for other logic...

But then someone else can say that its not, that if you're carrying a handgun the scanners are likely to catch that....thus keeping everyone safe from handguns.

Does anyone see what I'm doing here?

It's an invasion of personal privacy that would probably have made the founding fathers of this country take up arms, if it were to have happened on their watch.

Sickening.
