Answer 1

I am sure the highly trained airport security professionals will be able to do that for you.   Not sure how thorough it will be, but not sure how thorough airline security is, anyway.  It's just ridiculous, in my opinion.  Last time I was at the airport, I watched while they went through a 90-year old woman's handbag and threw away 4 bottles of nail polish.  Is that suppose to make me feel safer?  I don't think scanning people's privates will make me feel much safer, either.  What do they think people are going to do?  Hide a weapon of mass destruction in their tuckus??

Answer 2

They're just looking for things that might be a potential problem as far your flight is concerned.  If anyone has a problem about an invasion of their civil liberties (I'm so tired of hearing that c**p), then they should just drive or stay home.
