First Bans now airport X-ray machines?

My general experience of people objecting to anything like this is that they fall into one of two categories of people 1. those with something to hide; and 2. the self righteous do-gooders who would be the first to complain if something happened that could easily have been prevented. I'm not suggesting that you fall into either category but as a backup system to prevent major deathe and destruction is it really all that bad? After all, 9/11 was a result of a very small number of people boarding planes with ill intent and with the tools to gain control to wreak the havoc they did. What price to prevent another 9/11, surely a little inconvenience isn't too much?

I don't see a big issue with it. Here in New Orleans (and every airport that I have ever flown out of) you have to get anything you carry on x-rayed. You also had to at least walk through a medical detector. I would rather get xrayed and go through a minor hassel then get blown up a lunatic on a mission.

I suppose it would depend on how often you fly. If I travelled quite a bit I would have a problem with being X-rayed each time because I believe it poses a health risk, does it not? If I only travelled by plane every few years and the extra precaution helped keep everyone safe I would not have a problem with it. I would rather be X-rayed than be on a plane with a psycho terrorist who smuggled in a weapon or bomb.

I wrote an article about the Sky Harbor Airport. Read the article and find a link that shows an example image. http://blogevolve.com/phoenix-airport-security-stepping-up

i know, it is very dicusting, my bro was coming from Canada, and while on the airport, he saw his one of the bag being crshed by a big machine, it had things around 800$, this is really annoying

I have a big problem with this. How can they do this with out affecting anyone with the x-ray? Even if you go in for an x-ray at the hospital the tech can't stay in the room with you due to exposure. Let alone women who might be pregnant. This could cause some serious damage. I really hope they rethink this one before putting it into operation.

I haven't flown for almost 12 years and must admit it's getting to the stage where I don't know if I'd dare, is it really life threatening to go on a plane - more people die in car accidents. The thing after the x-ray will be we see and old break how did you do it - are you sure you're not terrorist. I know we need to be protected but how far is it sensible to go?

Yes it true x-rays must be banned

Driving to California might be a better option than exposing yourself to x-ray and to other peoples leering eyes.

I think that we feel that airport security is a little far fetched but because of recent incidents it may be the only solution at the present. It is annoying but by the same token perhaps it makes people feel a little more comfortable when they fly believing that a great deal has gone into trying to make the conditions of the passenger safer. Until new techniques are found we have to deal with what is available at the moment.

i can understand your concern but then the system has to be so foolproof that the terrorists cant get their way in and jeopardize the millions of passengers who are traveling.

they are kept for security only. only thing is their data must be kept confidental. only few employ must work on that
