RE: EU concerned by airport full-body scanners
I've seen the images from this.

Ever seen the usual news footage of a mammogram X-ray?

Imagine one of those, only blurry. Anything that's not
mostly water , or very thick, (like tissue and most
fabrics) shows up as an opague black silhouette
against a ghostly white, grainy image of a body, with
surface details that, oh, *might* show the bump of a
nipple if it were erect.

You can't make out details on genitalia; it's like
looking at a Barbie or Ken doll with mildly lumpy bits
at the crotch.

My personal solution would be to allow passengers with
up to date concealed carry firearms permits to pack,
but that would cause an even greater hue and cry than
this.

Why did 3 of 4 9/11 attacks succeed? Because the
attackers knew that the passengers wouldn't try to
rise up against them. Why did United 93 fail?
Because people on board realized they were going to
die anyway, and that they might as well keep these
******** from killing a building full of people along
with them.

Muslim martyrs blow themselves up in schoolyards,
killing the children of other Muslims, because they
can't actually get to the American troops.

American everymen figure that if they're going to die,
they might as well die keeping other people alive.

These two statements show exactly why Western culture
is superior to any other on the planet.
