"I think it would be very embarrassing to go throughout the scanner. But if it is going to keep us safe from terrorists then it is worth it and essential."
How fucking stupid are people, none of these things has kept us any "safer" from terrorism, but you mention that terrible word and it justifies absolutely anything.
I don't want a full body scan at an airport, none of these "highly trained" staff are anything of the sort, they are useless desk monkeys like you and me and if they go the chance to copy a nice picture of some nice norks they will jump at it.

"Fantastic idea! With so much terrorism targeted at planes these days, this is necessary and I don't feel like it breaches privacy at all. We shouldn't allow the privacy factor to get in the way of public safety."

Yes, I'm happy to forgo my dignity and privacy because of them terrorists! They're everywhere, can't be too careful now can we?
Terrorists are like peadophiles, lurking behind every single lamppost and street corner. Won't somebody please think of the children?

it'd make me do my job better. Hence, I don't mind this.
At any rate, it says you can opt out. I can pretty much guarantee you won't be able to opt out in most other countries as they introduce these things.
