1) There has been no information forthcoming about increased safety due to usage of said devices. 2) There has been no forthcoming information about acceptable levels of exposure to the device. 3) The installation of the devices was motivated by incidents such as "the underwear bomber." Such reactionary measures necessarily do not anticipate the emergence of future threats, while additional resources allocated to intelligence provably does.
