Makes sense to me.

An ex-NASA project director has what I think is the near perfect solution for airport security!

Subject: Airport security.

Here's a solution to all the controversy over full-bodyscanners at the airports. Have a bombproof booth that you can step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on you.

It would be a win-win for everyone, and there would be none of this crap about racial profiling and this method would eliminate a long and expensive trial.

Justice would be quick and swift.Case Closed!grin cheers

If it detonates an explosive device that anyone is carrying, does that mean the person carrying the device would explode too?

Yes, both types show a blurred naked human form sans hair but showing human features, looks very Ghostly. Wiki has examples of Full body Scanner pics.

This is why many Airports have the Viewers in another enclosed room far from the scanners themselves.

The operators of the scanners are not able to see the scans. The Scan reviewers are not able to see the persons scanned.

Also some offer the option of refusing a scann in favor of a oldfashioned body search with hand held scanner.

Sorry, the Cuties at the gates are not seeing you, either, only a light that says pass or not to pass.

The only ones seeing the scans are in a closed room away from the area of the scanner and they cannot see the person whose image they see. They see the scans and press the buttion telling the Cuties to either pass the person or pull them asside for a further search.
