"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

Another thing that bothers me about this is that apparently Rapiscan (the makers of many of the scanners) were the ones doing the tests. Why wouldn't you get a third party to test these things? This whole thing smells to me. Prediction: rosy stats will be released, but the truth will leak out when some big event is occupying the public mind.
Well, a third party tester would only be used by those seeking an impartial result, I guess. Follow the money on this subject, it will lead you to interesting places/people.
