one has to wonder what the real purpose for the body scanner is.
US gov strikes again.
Good find s&f
if the unusual "patch" of explosives had shown up on a body scanner, the bomber could have been taken aside for a more thorough body search. the
explosive device would have been discovered.
but freshman REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMEN rep. jason chaffetz (one of the republicans that stood up and questioned Obama about "HIS" integrity at the
recent GOP meeting) had already decided to vote against any legislation to put those scanners in airports...

since many other republicans voted with him...it seems that they are the ones soft on security...apparently that hypocricy doesn't get shown on the
"LIBERAL MEDIA" ABC, CBS, NBC, stations.
