Larger, busier airports get the new scanners. So they're not taking out scanners altogether. Just replacing them with cartoony ones. And putting the old scanners in less busy airports. Yay!

On the other hand, apparently the new machines have a very high false positive rate. Fun!

I never liked the scanners and always opt to have them pat me down when I fly. However, they should ban them altogether and give us back our civil liberties and not turn this country more and more into a police state.

You and your boy the one Obama may think its good to remove scanners re terrorists from airports, winston, but Al kayda is still a threat as in Mali. Good thing I no longer vote and will be in Vegas with the Mrs seeing Absinthe at Caesars and enjoying the Wagon Wheel Buffet at Whiskey Pete's. You can have your communist socialist country.
