Anything for security or way too personal, TMI

Intense discussions are crossing the blogs about air travel and security using the back-scatter x-ray and full-body scanners at the airport. Of the many things that will be visible on the x-ray scan includes feminine pads and tampons.

The bloggers are asking, will the traveler need to confirm that they are indeed on their cycle or even more have to prove that it’s not a concealed weapon?

What are your thoughts? Is this just the price we pay for security in traveling?
