Want to figure out how to thwart TSA body scanners?

Why not buy one and experiment to your heart's content.

Why someone is allowed to sell these things in the open market is beyond me. For the very reason in my subject line.

The seller claims that the scanner usually costs the U.S. government $113,000, so why would they let such a valuable piece of equipment go for a mere 7,995? You got me. But it seems to me this kind of sale should be shut down. And I mean immediately.
