A friend of mine sent this e-mail to me this morning . Here’s a simple solution to the controversy over full-body scanners at airports. Develop an enclosed booth that passengers step into but , instead of

r u kidding? For what it costs to fly these days if I can get a free reach around thats better then an in flight movie!
