    Wow! I can't believe that people actually voted for option one! Do they really believe this is making air travel safer? The American government had obviously planned to use these full body scanners way before that guy was passed through onto the plane with the exploding diaper. This is just one more reason to avoid traveling all together. I believe in safety first – and having my full body scanned by harmful rays sucks. It really sucks that so many Canadians are blinded by CNN.

    Why not let security do what they need to do and stop complaining about unimportant things like scanners, the world is full of worse troubles. Think about other people who are dying all around us every day so if someone wants to try and do their best to protect me when I am travelling then why not cooperate and appreciate the fact it is for our own safety, they are only trying to find ways to prevent more death.
