I thought the pornoscanners were supposed to detect things like bombs in pants and bomb implants. If not, what do they do, other than bombarding our DNA with radiation? Now I know how the test subjects in the Tuskegee syphilis study felt.

Nope. They detect, um, maybe tattoos? Both the scanners and the "enhanced" pat-downs came out of the underwear bomber, but the TSA freely admitted that neither of their new schemes that they designed to combat the underwear bomb would've actually detected the underwear bomb. I recall a bunch of people asking them what the point was, and the TSA giving a kinda non-commital wishy-washy answer that pretty much amounted to "because we can".

I can't speak for anyone else, but whenever I've heard the argument to use "Israeli style profiling" this is exactly what is being referrenced. As I understand it (from reading a few articles - I'm not expert), the Israelis use behavorial profiling AND good-ol' fashion judge-a-book-by-its-cover profiling to determine who gets extra-special security screening.

And their intelligence agency is in on it, too. I think.
