These machines were all built before there was an actual market for them, hence their quick deployment to airports in various countries. The "crotch bomber" happens just days before the security measures invoked after 9/11 were set to expire, which "justifies" extending these measures and expanding them by bringing in these devices, which can't detect the materials used in this instance. These machines were ordered about a year ago, even though they pose privacy and health concerns.
Add in the fact that this technology can basically create a 3d biometric scan of people and that "surprise" all one has to do to see a full nude of these pictures is to use the "invert image" command in pretty much any photo editing software - no more ghostly images that are shown, rather full color nude pictures of everyone who is scanned.
So - we have expensive devices that don't work for what they are being introduced to do, have health concerns and damage DNA, can be used as a source of pornography, can transmit and store data, and can be used to generate biometric data on an entire person in 3d.
Bottom line - the "crotch bomber" may have thought he was working for Al Qaeda, but it would seem he was working indirectly for the manufacturers of these machines and the control freaks that want this level of invasion of privacy normalized.
This has little if nothing to do with airline security folks. The crotch bomber had no passport, was flagged as suspicious by airport security and was still allowed on a plane.
I smell false flag all over this.
Motive - money for "security" companies and power for national security organizations, another blow against human rights and dignity, and previously increased security measures set to expire.
Means - the guy waltzed through security which implies he had high - level help along the way, (and not from people hiding in caves in a war zone).
Opportunity - using a dummy that thought he was going to martyr himself for a cause and manipulating him into going ahead with a plan that was destined to backfire (literally) to justify bringing in the end result which is the introduction of these machines and continuation of other "security measures" - the continued warrantless wiretaps, the continued monitoring of all emails and more.
