But this made me wonder...
Why are people willing to go through these invasions of privacy ?

1) Some may think it is to keep planes from flying into buildings.
But that can be prevented by a secure door into the pilots cabin.

2) Some may feel it is for personal security... i.e., I want everyone else on my plane to be screened.

But if an airline can guarantee (#1), then the only problem is (#2)
Paper is much cheaper than whole-body scanners.
So why don't we start our own airline where NO passengers are screened... passengers must just sign an "informed consent".
