"You're doing it wrong"Chthonic confesses: "Only last year did I discover why the lids of things in tubes have a recessed pointy bit built into them." Tell us about the facepalm moment when you realised you were doing something wrong.

I wanted to do this.Sadly old-age* and alcohol meant I wasn't able to rise to the challenge.
For anyone who thinks these scans are OK -- I hope you realise that you paid for them (assuming you have been through one) and their only purpose if to make money for the sellers and guarantee some politicians and civil servants consultancy roles?
For shock value I ought to mention the "peado with a camera phone" potential also.
I fly regularly and there is nothing that these new scanners can pick up that wouldn't be picked up using the standard metal detector + pat-down setup -- which is a fuck of a lot cheaper.
Regarding a comment about taking off shoes: I've been through airside security at least 12 times this year and only once had to remove my GSG9.2s.
*Well, middle age at least.

"there is nothing that these new scanners can pick up that wouldn't be picked up using the standard metal detector + pat-down setup"What about liquid explosives of the type that someone used leading to authority's confiscating tubs of lube over 100ml from aircraft?
I'm not in the least worried about the scanners, I'm an order of magnitude more concerned about digital privacy laws.
