This is technology that will not go away. And to risk it moving into the hands of a terrorist group like al Qaeda or to other focused enemies of the United States, would have tragic consequences.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My greatest concern is that the emergence of this technology without the appropriate public attention and international controls could lead to an unstable arms race.
It would be unwise to say the least, irresponsible of us at the TSA, at the Homeland Security Department not to evolve our technology to match the changing threat environment that we inhabit.
My greatest fear is not the abuse of technology but that we will not use it at all.
I think it's brought the world a lot closer together, and will continue to do that. There are downsides to everything; there are unintended consequences to everything. The most corrosive piece of technology that I've ever seen is called television - but then, again, television, at its best, is magnificent.
There is this permanent hope in America that there is some new technology around the corner that will change the world.
Foreign terrorists are using technology to radicalize Americans at a troubling pace that continues to increase.
If we allow our self-congratulatory adoration of technology to distract us from our own contact with each other, then somehow the original agenda has been lost.
The benefits of our increasingly digital lives have been accompanied by new dangers, and we have been forced to consider how criminals and terrorists might use advances in technology to their advantage.
Any powerful technology can be abused.
If you think the technology is infeasible, you don't worry about what it might do and what its potential is.
