Scanning technology exists today that would project only a "stick figure" image of a passenger to a TSA screener and minimize any exposure to radiation according to three U.S. Senators.

The technology known as "automated target recognition" is in use at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport.

Senators Susan Collins (R-ME), Jon Kyl (R-AZ) and Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) wrote a letter to the TSA back in April asking for the technology to be used in the United States.

    • Maybe the TSA should look into Israelification. That is, how can we make our airports more like Israel's, which deal with far greater terror threat with far less inconvenience.

      Fighting terror with terror is like trying to put out a housefire with napalm.

      Isreal's situation gets worse everyday because they choose to fight the "Problem" and not the "cause of the problem".

      Americans need to learn from their mistakes and take corrective measures neccissary to ensure terrorist's demise. Lets kill them with kindness.
