From the article...
b) "...safe..." Didn't Europe just ban them? http://www.forbes.com/sites/daviddisalv ... -concerns/
c) "...privacy..." right - male staff oogling female passengers? That's been corrected has it? http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2012/02/03/fema ... ed-by-tsa/
So bland statement from CEO makes it all ok?
a) "a great enhancement" - despite being shown not to work and not be cost effective... http://www.chicagotribune.com/travel/sn ... 6193.storyGordon Dewar, chief executive of Edinburgh Airport, said: "Safety and security is at the heart of everything we do at Edinburgh airport and this new scanner is a great enhancement to our security process.

From traces of drugs or gun powder on your clothes to what you had for breakfast to the adrenaline level in your body—agents will be able to get any information they want without even touching you.
And without you knowing it.
The technology is so incredibly effective that, in November 2011, its inventors were subcontracted by In-Q-Tel to work with the US Department of Homeland Security. In-Q-Tel is a company founded "in February 1999 by a group of private citizens at the request of the Director of the CIA and with the support of the U.S. Congress."
