if they can't see detail, then the scan is worthless. it's easy to hide
something if it's blurred.

a normal belt buckle will not alarm, but you *do* have to remove all
that stuff for the body scanners.

You'll still need to do that with the body scanners. The body scanners
are meant to only replace the patting procedures.

The idea of having to drag out, put into trays, and subsequently recover
_two_ laptops in an airport security line, along with shoes, jacket,
metal objects, coins, watch, and whatever, while also keeping track of
passport, boarding card, and whatever else, terrifies me!
