Suzan of Brisbane asked: "What’s worse, being a fatty, getting scanned and being embarrassed or someone taking a weapon onto a flight and killing everyone?”
Which is of course the obvious alternative. Submit to being dosed with a new, higher level of radiation whenever you get on a plane or YOU'RE LIKELY TO BE BLOWN UP.
For a longer list of unnecessarily invasive, humiliating, unjustly restrictive and frankly cruel measures Suzan thinks airports should be allowed to inflict on travellers at will - so long as it's better than "someone taking a weapon onto a flight and killing everyone" she's okay with it - simply find a psychopath with a diseased imagination and ask them for ideas.
UPDATE 6/10: It is possible that News Ltd's original story was wrong, and these are machines that don't use x-rays after all. Either way, the main subject of this post is the vacuousness of Susan's reasoning in support of whatever the airport wants to do to her - which point stands.
