Reply #22: People are worked up about at least these things

[Gormy Cuss]

1) Privacy. Just because you and some others thinks it's no biggy to you doesn't mean that it's not a legitimate objection. Pat downs are considered less invasive by some because they're done by touching clothing, not skin.

2) Health risk. This one may have no basis in fact because of the levels and type of radiation, but many people are fearful nonetheless.

3) A bad investment in security theater when used as a primary screening device -- it will require a lot of resources to implement for TSA and makes the process of clearing security slower and more off-putting for many passengers, all with little promise of deterring a terrorist act.
