I didn't see any full body scanners at Jet Blue JFK terminal last Sunday
My flight was at 11:30 AM and it was very quiet for NYC. There were only 3 security lines in the Jet Blue terminal. Actually, they even rushed us all through and only took maybe 15 minutes. Maybe it was shift change time and they just wanted to go home?

So WHERE are these new full body scanners? Beats me. I didn't see any and this was just at the Jet Blue terminal. There are at least 10 other terminals at JKF. Hmm. Just imagine all the MONEY being spent at this major airport alone if ALL passengers have to go through one of these. Personally, as a 100 lb., 62 year old woman, I would rather go through one of these than be touched all other. I fly a lot back home to NY to see my kids. I did so even 10 years ago when my daughter played ice hockey. Even then they always targeted us. No way, would I let my teenage daughter be groped by some stranger. She never like being touched; even to be patted on the head. "Don't TOUCH ME", is what she has always said since she could talk. No, young children and teenagers should not be TOUCHED. That is what I taught my kids and my daughters never wanted to be anyway.

This is just awful.
