C4 is highly moldable. It can be fashioned into sheets that wrap contours of a person's body.
Instead of visual body scanners that violate our right to privacy (i.e., presuming we're guilty without cause or charge and conducting a manner of search that should only be applied to those that have been charged with a crime), the TSA should stick with metal detectors, explosives sniffing dogs (or machines), and offer jobs to retired former military NCOs to question passengers while looking them in the eyes. Give them the Israeli style training. IOW, the TSA doesn't need to choose a path that violates our constitutional rights and subjects us to the worse forms of degrading humiliation.
