so I don't get what the problem is then?
i think the scanners are easy and quick. my 80 year old mom got the hang of them in 2 seconds.
people have a choice not to fly if they don't like the security at airports.
I did have an issue with the introduction of scanners that use ionising radiation. Even at the incredibly low radiation levels, where it will be impossible to ever determine a detriment to people, they didn't appear to apply the Justification principle of radiation protection. As in receiving a net benefit.
We have a system but we just ignore it because the risk is so low? Who determines that the risk is so low we can ignore the system? Can I do that for my work? It was just a bad look and if the risk is so low then they should have no issue justifying the use of scanners. It is worth noting that Australia did do a justification case for these scanners.
