[QUOTE]Originally posted by yukon11: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by RRRICH: [qb] If they continue to do full body-scans, then EVERYBODY should get one (OK, leave alone children), or else the whole process is a useless waste of time. After all, how many terrorists who are indeed carrying a bomb beneath their clothes are going to agree to a full-body scan (or even a pat down)? The people that agree to the full body scan are NOT the terrorists. My solution is.........TAKE THE TRAIN!!!! [/qb][/QUOTE]***************************************** Right on, Mr. Rich! I agree with Mr. Norman's first post, with this thread, with regard to enhanced ridership on Amtrak's corridors. I do think corridor ridership could go up if the currrent TSA screening methods continue. In fact, I think many suggested regional routes could take advantage of the screening hassle at airpots. The one I would especially like to see developed is the RangerXpress, from Albuquerque to Denver to Casper. http://www.colorail.com/map.html With regard to Mr. Rich's comment on terrorists not agreeing to a body scan..yes, I wonder about that, also. A while back, a terrorist (I believe from Saudi Arabia) stuck a half-kilogram bomb up his rectum. He would, obviously, refuse the scan in favor of the pat-down. Such would not detect the bomb. What is the answer? Maybe a colonoscopy room at the airport? Richard [/QB][/QUOTE]
