Being a Muslim defines your religion, not your race unless I have been missing something my whole life.

Seriously tho who cares about that? Once you have seen one and all that.

Surely this will save time and privacy having a personal pat down at the check in

That's true.
I mean let's face it - the people who touch you up are never fit members of the opposite sex.
The invasion of privacy argument doesn't hold up when compared to pat downs does it?

That doesn't mean that the scanners are a good idea though - it is widely recognised that this is just another of GB's knee jerk reactions, made without considering the full implications (such as the fact that airport workers have to be searched every day, so can't be subject to the scans).
They said that about the scanners in shoe shops in the 50's . Children died of cancer as a result of the use of these machines. NO radiation is safe -period.

This may mean that you do not waste too much valuable security time on white, blue eyed British toddlers going by the surname Jones travelling with a reddish dad in a Kiss Me Quick hat!!! History shows (to the best of my recollection) that 99% of recent terrorists have actually conformed to the Islamic terrorist stereotype. That may mean its common sense in 'having more security interest' in similar looking people. Is that prejudice and racism or simply a measured intelligent response to fact?

Uncomfortable innit!

Spot on ! But I think its 99.99%
