Horsefeathers. I've had SSSS on my boarding pass numerous times. They search your baggage by hand and send you on your way. Even if they did this mythical "Full Body X-Ray", it would not catch any of the things you're discussing. A CT scan or MRI might, if they had an hour to set it up and have you undergo it, and had the budget for devices like that, but of course they do no such thing. Perry
