Israel Solves Airport Security Privacy Issue

I'm sure this is not true, but it is so clever I thought I'd post it for your entertainment.

The Israelis are developing an airport security device that eliminates the privacy concerns that come with full-body scanners at the airports.  It's an armored booth you step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on your person.  Israel sees this as a win-win situation for everyone, with none of this crap about racial profiling. It will also eliminate the costs of a long and expensive trial.

Imagine, you're in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter, an announcement: "Attention to all standby passengers, we now have a seat available on flight 670 to London. Shalom!"

All that is missing is an internal nozzle head to self clean the device prior to the next person getting in.
