I also can't believe that they won't save the images. The first time someone slips through the scanner with something dangerous and there's an incident they will want to review the images to see why it was missed.

Wow, a solution that requires the existence of nonexistent technology. What a genius you are.

Why cant we just shoot the terrorists with lasers before they get inside the airport?
CCCToad on 24/2/2010 at 22:49
Or kindly ask them to fill out a registration form detailing their terrorist affiliations and declare any bombs they may be carrying.

So the government lied about what the machines can do and in another incident government employees abused their power? Color me unsurprised.
Is the pope Catholic? Do TBM's bowel movements stink?

Okay I've got it: the solution!
You enter the airport after stripping all your clothes off and inserting them into a incinerator. Then you proceed to the enema room, where you get all your orifices probed, washed, and reamed (tear ducts included). After that, you enter the car wash (modified for the smaller humanoid vessel) where all potential explosives are scrubbed off with circulating wire brushes, and soap.
From there you proceed to the interrogation room, where they question you relentlessly for sixteen hours, play endless Milli Vanilli hits, and pelt you with puffer fish. After successfully passing this test you proceed to the microwave/x-ray/infrared room for a warming 1000 rem scan. Then onto the re hydrating tank for a refreshing draught of liquid halon, and a refreshing coat of AFFF (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam).
Finally a retina scan with a powerful laser beam so you can't tell the difference between the red button on your bomb and a big red barn.
You are now ready for boarding.

its just a con anyway the x-ray scanners cant detect explosives, you need the special body scanners that dont use x-rays, they're the ones that can detect explosives they work like the body scanners in hospitals the magnetic resonance ones. They can tell the difference between organic flesh and organic explosives. As most explosives now are orcanic chemical based and not nitrate urine based.

True, X-ray can't detect explosives but they can detect a package in your underwear or the stomach full of balloons of cocaine you are smuggling in.
Nobody lied about the machines. You misinterpreted the intent.
Our friend with the underpants full of explosives would have been caught, as well as people with a belly band full of drugs or cash or other contraband or explosives.
The X-ray would find anything not normal to a human body or the associated clothing.
Try thinking it through next time. Off the cuff BS like your post is mostly due to irrational or faulty logic.
You are correct about the composition of various explosives but there are compounds that use both.
