In response to a recent post suggesting that this topic not get out of hand again
(my paraphrase).  First, the use of "secret law" is incorrect and incites defensive
actions.  No one has verified that this is a law.  The original post said that
the folks at the initially referenced airports were told that the FAA "asked"
that scanners not be used. All of a sudden that snowballed into a mandate, then
a secret law.  Individual airports can take whatever precautions -- within reason,
of course -- they think necessary to protect their facilities. I repeat no one
has yet to confirm that any law, secret or otherwise exists.  I have not heard
of any additional incidence being reported. Move on.
