    Wait....YOUSUMBITCH! I was trying to think about that!

    Im talking about the little capsul things, that you step into, then they close on you, and air blows at you in puffs. Please tell me someone else has been through this. I dont want to think I was actually abducted.

    I understand you're point, but the terrorist organizations have people from all different backgrounds and race. Granted I know about 90% is of middle eastern descent, but they still have American Born people.
    Terrorist may get creative and send in a white kid and not have him wear a turban, and wear commonly worn clothes from the US. And blend in.
    Granted I don't think they will send in a 88 year old grandmother, lol. But still.

    I think it comes down to profile for behavior, but you could have a good point.

    What I'm getting at is that the typical 90something yr old grandma hasn't attempted any terror against us... Whereas many Muslims from the Middle East have...

    I don't like polls. The scanner has a usefulness but it's not the answer to airline security. It wasn't a rant, just an opinion. Take it however you like. As you can tell I don't give a rats ass about PC'ness.

    See...Thats what I thought. Last time Wifey and I were in Florida, they had one. I went through it 7 times trying to work out a fart, to no avail. It remains un answered.

    Right, but how many times has a 88yr old white grandma come from Yemen or somewhere near there? If she is flying from JFK to some small town in Missouri, has bags that are clear, doesn't appear anxious or aggressive, and is in a wheelchair, the chances are slim of her trying to attempt something with a terrorist org.

    No, I'd be more worried about in breeders from Beech Creek, not Southerners...
