Then Why Bother?: X-rays Can't Detect Shoe Explosives

According to the Department of Homeland Security itself, x-ray machines that screen airline passengers cannot detect explosives.

So unless the devices are being used to further increase the risks of cancer or to further condition the American people into doing as we are told without complaint, then what's the point.

But then again, maybe those reasons are the point.

Perhaps Americans should stop and consider this before they rush headlong into implementing other measures supposedly being enacted for our own good that won't do a thing to stop an actual act of terrorism such as the Real ID Act but merely tighten the chains around the neck of the American people.
