78. Yes, you are right that this could satisfy people as far as
the privacy issue is concerned. However, it took a lot of pressure for them to admit there WAS a privacy issue and it will take the same amount of pressure regarding safety.

I don't think this end the controversy. I've seen a lot of outrage over the danger of using them.

You can call Congress now as the issue is being discussed there due to a bill introduced recently.

At the last hearing, they discussed replacing the machines with dogs and the committee asked for more information on the cost of dogs V machines which they hope to get at the next hearing.

There is a push now for dogs and if people pursue it, I think there are enough members of Congress on both sides who are willing to listen.
