There is a lot of controversy surrounding the new body scanners found at most large airports. The biggest argument I have seen is the obvious conflict of interest. Body scanners are made by a company owned by the politician that worked really hard to get them required by law.
They also emit large amounts of radiation, and there is controversy around whether or not they pose a cancer risks? Some studies say yes.
However, I opt out every time for a different reason. There is no way to know how accurate they actually are. Can they see my junk? My wife's breasts? I'm not that shy and don't really care if some random guy or girl gets a peek at my junk. They'll never see me again. My point is that if they can see my junk, it's way to invasive. If they can't see my junk, then it's not good enough to catch another "underwear bomber."
They are pointless. They either are too invasive or don't work well enough. Either way, there are far better ways to catch would be terrorist. Israel has great security, and they don't take naked pictures or do perverted pat downs. The reason why I ALWAYS opt out is because it is my way of protesting this obviously unnecessary invasion and violation of citizens privacy.
