Huh? So blowing up a plane full of innocent civilians is not going too far. But using breast implants to do it is too far. Oh, okay. That makes perfect sense now.

haha... some of you guys are dense. there will be no "pat down" procedures implemented as a result.
animal thug and another fellow on the first page are correct. it is to get more public support for full body scanners.
Body Scanners Are Headed to 11 Major Airports
From USA Today:
WASHINGTON — Eleven major airports will beginusing body scanners to screen passengers as the Transportation SecurityAdministration launches a plan to buy 1,000 of the machines over thenext two years.
The scanners can look under passengers' clothing in order to detect weapons and explosives.
Boston Logan International Airportreceived one new scanner this week and will get two more next week. Allwill go into the same terminal. Among the other airports getting thescanners are Los Angeles International, Chicago O'Hare and Charlotte Douglas International.

The Transportation Security Administrationbought 150 scanners in September using $25 million from the federalstimulus package. It plans to buy 300 more this year and 500 next year.Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano ordered the installation accelerated after the failed Christmas Day bombing attempt of an airliner over Detroit.
The scanners, made by California-based Rapiscan,are 9 feet long and 6½ feet wide, much larger than metal detectors.Airport screeners view images from the machines in a nearby closed room.
Some airport officials have expressed worrybecause the scanners are larger and slower than metal detectors."That's a big concern," Ed Freni, aviation director at Logan airport,said of the slower speed. "We have to monitor it very closely becauseif it slows things, we're going to have to adjust."
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airportoperations director Mike Nonnemacher said he learned Tuesday from theTSA that the airport would be getting an unspecified number of thescanners. "We'll do what we have to to make the space available forthese machines," Nonnemacher said.
About half of nearly 40 airports that answered asurvey last month by the Airports Council International said theirsecurity checkpoints are too small to handle the machines, according toChristopher Bidwell, the council's security chief.
The new scanners will bring the total number ofairports with the machines to 29. That includes 17 of the nation's 30largest airports.
Airports with scanners will continue to usemetal detectors, both as an alternative for passengers who want toavoid the machines and in checkpoints without the scanners. Passengerswho opt to skip a scanner will go through a metal detector and behand-searched by a screener.
Officials at Cincinnati/Northern KentuckyInternational Airport are not worried about the TSA plan, airportspokeswoman Barb Schempf said. The airport recently finished a newcheckpoint. "It was constructed in anticipation of this type ofequipment being installed," Schempf said. "We're probably in a betterposition than most."
