I'd like to see statistics around the effect the new procedures actually have in achieving their goals (and know exactly what their goals are, really). It's hard to believe we spend millions on this stuff to prevent marginal problems when there are many more likely/common causes of death.
As I understand it, you can't refuse both scan and pat down without penalty. Once you're at that point, you are required to continue with one.
I find it hard to believe that 4 out of 5 people are actually OK with it. I'd like to find out how that survey was run and what questions were asked. Who gets asked "strangers are going to feel around your sensitive bits and/or irradiate you" and says they think it's a good idea?
