Mind Scanners at Airports would Bar Muslims Entry
As I expected in my previous article Exploding Muslim Underwear is My Fault: "If one wants to look at the bright side, those full-body scanners may now feel less intrusive." So today the Netherlands announced it will begin using more full body scanners for flights heading to the United States (1).
In the photo here we see an employee of Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam demonstrating how the new software in the body scanner works. The highlighted area on the scanned body image at left shows an alert. This new scanner software hides the gender and body contours of the passenger, but security staff can still spot liquids, weapons or other objects.
But I see a problem with the new software; since it projects a stylized image of genitalia rather than an actual picture onto a computer screen, Jihadists can hide explosive liquids in penis-shaped silicone containers wrapped around their genuine organs and fool inspectors into thinking this is just a well-endowed passenger.
Hey, don't blame me if extremists do this next; if I can imagine it, surely they can as well.
I expect that the next time we have an attack, it will be revealed that Muslim terrorists exploited this very weakness in the scanners, and then, and only after hundreds die or almost die, then we will go back to the original sharp and true scanners. Why do we always close the barn door too late?
I can't wait until we have mind scanners that can detect when someone has thoughts that they want the United States to be destroyed; this means of course that no Muslims will ever enter the US and in addition, if a Liberal ever leaves the country on vacation, they will not be able to come back in.

NewsTimes, Dutch to use full body scanners for US flights
The Netherlands announced Wednesday it will immediately begin using full body scanners for flights heading to the United States, saying that could have stopped the attempted Christmas Day airline bombing.
The U.S. had not wanted these scanners to be used previously because of privacy concerns but now the Obama administration has agreed that "all possible measures will be used on flights to the U.S.," Dutch Interior Minister Guusje Ter Horst told a news conference.

Amsterdam's Schiphol has 15 body scanners, each costing more than $200,000. But until now neither the European Union nor the U.S. have approved the routine use of the scanners at European airports.
A key European legislator urged the European Union to begin rapidly installing the new equipment across the 27-nation bloc, but no other European nations immediately followed the Dutch move.
Body scanners that peer underneath clothing have been available for years, but privacy advocates say they are a "virtual strip search" because they display an image of the body onto a computer screen.
