A blogger has shown that all the Transport Safety Association’s controversial nude body scanners and much-too-personal pat downs are not effective in the least, as more and more people in the US speak out against the “advanced” security measures.

­Engineer Jonathan Corbett has published a video in which he shows exactly how he took a small metal case through two of the TSA’s billion-dollar armada of scanners in a special side pocket stitched into his shirt.

The reason it is so easy, explains Corbett, is because the scanners blend metallic areas into the dark background. Thus, if an object is not directly placed on the body, it will not show up on the scan. The old detectors would have picked up on the metal, but the TSA’s new and expensive toys, it seems, are woefully inadequate.
