what is the point of the shoe bomb?
last i checked you were required to remove your shoes and put them through the xray.
and the pic that comes up on the article, shows a girl with no shoes on. this machine will do nothing for "shoe bombs"
this may be something for the security point of view, but its a blatant violation of privacy, yes you can use your imagination but the reason we wear clothes, other than obvious warmth in cold conditions, is so people cant see us in our birthday suits. we dont run around naked all day, we wear clothes, whether it be shorts and a tank top for the outside summer conditions, or a bikini/swim trunks for the beach, we cover up what we choose to not show the world.
some people are more generous with showing those parts in public but not all of us want them seen.
i dont walk around the gym locker room naked, some people do, but i dont. i have no problem being naked at home, but i feel no need to have some random stranger having the ability to pick me out of a line and see every bit of me.
if im ever picked for this, i'll go with the pat down, id rather feel like a criminal being searched over having some random guy gawk at me under my clothes.
like i said, i doubt any fat or horrifically ugly guy/girl will be picked for this, and they have way more places to hide shit.
