Yes, and to back this up, they used to not scan women in some countries
believing that women would never become suicide bombers. That has
changed because some women have done just that.

Though going through the detector as we used to is certainly the most 
appealing option, who's to say that someone may not pose as a person
with a 
disability in a wheelchair or with a service dog to avoid the full body 
scan?  I may be paranoid, but this policy deceminates the belief that
people 
with any disability are sweet perfectly harmless little dears, and
though i 
don't plan on  bombing an airport anytime soon, a terrorist could
definitely 
take advantage of this fact in so many situations.

Just my paranoid pesimistic thoughts for the morning,
Meghan
