Foot x-ray machines for kids
At least that's what one commentator says we had in shoe shops four decades ago (to use their phrase). Now that does sound fun.
Ignoring the woo-ism and just to take the pure security angle though, all the while the commercial imperative has somehow bent the rules so that you can buy flammables in duty free to take on a plane with you it all does seem a bit cursory. It's what I think is otherwise known as panopticism...comfort or fear in the thought of being permanently watched and monitored (see CCTV for further reference).
