Airport scanners

I wonder whether Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is regretting his recent exploits now that he has badly burnt legs and genitals. Shame eh? The icing on the cake is that he will undoubtedly spend the rest of his days in an underground prison cell in the USA.

It's looking increasingly like airport scanners will soon be implemented in all airports. I feel sorry for the airport staff having to look at lots of images of ugly naked people. I wonder whether only female officers will be able to view women and only male officers view men...I'm not that bothered about them. I don't like the idea of being x-rayed every time I fly but I hear the radiation level is quite low - I found this:

"Every day you're exposed to 80 times as much radiation as this machine gives you in one scan. If you fly across country, you're going to get exposed to 200 times the radiation just from being in that airplane than you would be getting scanned by this machine.'

I suppose it's a small price to pay for your plane not disintegrating at 40,000 feet.

By the way I don't know where they found that image of me.
