New Airport Security is Intrusive

On November 24th all the airports now have full body scanners!? They have 2 new machines that do this. One is the Backscatter X-ray Scanner and the other is the Millimeter Wave Scanner. They expose what you look like naked. This will definitely prevent people from smuggling things. Since the radio waves or lower powered x-rays go through your cloths and bounce off your skin I am not sure if it will catch people smuggling jail style up the...
What was wrong with the metal detectors? Like there has been an incident since heightened security after 9/11? There was one person with a bomb in his shoe. Oh, and don't forget the bomb in the Gatoraid bottle or some drink. They were both caught. They already took precautions having us take off our shoes and no drinks allowed through security. Will this be safer? Will it just make us feel safer? Or will it make us mad and feel harassed?
This might be just wrong and unconstitutional. Being able to see someone bare. What about kids? That is just wrong. The data that they see of people is not saved or recorded, I was pleased to find that out.
You can choose to "Opt Out" and refuse to be searched, but you will be patted down heavily instead...

How do you feel about this?
