Yeah, I don't endorse the title of the YouTube video, "Terrorist Stopper." What a jingoistic term. Sigh. Thanks Chris. Now as I walk in and out of secure buildings, I'm going to wonder who is bombarding me with x-rays and looking into my brain. Who is going to pay for all of the decon and health problems? Well, what about all the plastic guns that terrorists sneak past metal detectors?

Oh wait, there aren't any. Plastic projectiles, plastic shell casings and silicon-based gunpowder. Must be new technology to thwart the dogs. TSA two legged and the four legged alike. I don't believe it.
How unecasary. There can't be that many people trying to shoot up a plane full of people. America is being prodded and poked and the government is getting away with it. The TSA needs to be one of those departments that should go away. We do not need this level of harassment. Terrorist and others have already proven that they will "try" to take over airplanes or do other stupid things and the passengers stomped their ****. As long as we don't sit by like cattle, there will never be another 9/11 so we do not need the TSA and their own terrorist activities and their whole body scanning machines. We need to go back to pre 9/11 airport security with a few tweaks. No more shoe removal, no more body searches without REAL reasons and no more two hour before flight show times. We could save billions each year and in this economy we need to do something besides take away more of our own freedoms.
I am willing to risk it, aren’t you?
Wow, I am glad I found this. Allow me to dispel this myth right off. first of all, this photograph is NOT a scan from a millimeter wave detection system. secondly, weapons made of plastic? No...not so much, yet I can assure you a basic google search will bring you to a myriad of different websites that showcase ceramic weapons. Also, please try to understand one thing...millimeter wave technology is NOT X-rays. If you are going to be indignant about something, the least you can do is educate yourself, just a little bit so that way you don't come off as completely ignorant. - employee of a company that makes millimeter wave technology based detection systems. Millimeter Scan Technology...

OK. I'm good with that.

Link us to the studies that show tests over 20 years on millimeter wave technology and the effects on humans.

Light infraction with redundant wave single use radar?
Sound real techincal to me but doesn't mean squat.

I don't care. It is a basic enfringement of privacy.

Does the company you work for that is making millimeter wave technology based detection systems have many government contracts? I am betting we are paying your salary.

Good job by the government paid leech.

Get it?
Didn't think so since you are so heavily involved in personal privacy invasion.

Funny......BTW, X-RAYS is a common expression for anything that does this crap.
Millimeter wave technology is based on radio waves. It manipulates radio wave frequencies to create the image. Unless you are about to start implying that exposure to radio waves at low frequencies for a total time of 5 to 8 seconds is harmful to a person's health, you need to do better research on what you are talking about. Once again, let's dispel the myths being perpetuated by discussions like this one.

How is this infringement of privacy? The images produced (which are not stored by the way) would be no different than what you would see if the person was wearing a spandex jogging suit. It takes a huge leap of the imagination to get anything "pornographic" as Congressman Chaffetz wants everyone to believe, out of those images.

The fact is that all it took was 19 men, years of planning and a handful of boxcutters to kill almost 3,000 people in one day. This is not an issue of personal privacy, it's about catching people with a well thought out, coordinated plan to kill and destroy the lives of innocent travelers.

I don't care what the common terminology used is for "anything that does this crap" as you put it...when you use the word X-Ray, you are giving it a certain connotation that is absolutely wrong. This technology is not associated with X-Rays, does not give off any kind of radiation whatsoever.

What I do for a living makes it possible for organizations (government, commercial and private) to secure the safety of the people who enter and exit their establishments, secure the safety of all modes of transportation that supplies the Unites States and other countries with food and other basic commodities. I am proud of what I do and while you are ****ing about what I do and what this technology that you have no basic understanding of does, I will continue to keep you and all the others like you safe and sound while you travel on commercial flights, take a cruise, board a train...etc.
