Full Body Scanners Part II

Apparently the full body scanners really do a virtual "strip search" otherwise why would the manufacture unveil avatars that look like "a guy with a baseball cap". The real question; are we really any safer as a result of this technology? How many would be terrorists have been thwarted or caught as a result of the rest of the passengers being subjected to undue search and exposure to high levels of electro-magnetic energy? I know one thing, full body scanners did nothing to warn port authority officials that a pissed of flight attendant had just pulled the ejection shoot and hauled ass off of Laguardia.
