This is the letter I got from Albo and Co. when I contacted them about my opposition to the scanners, in case anyone is interested.

I got the exact same letter. What a cunt.

Me three. Asshole. I told him that trains and trams were more sensible spending but he insists that he is the sole guardian of Australian shores.
These scanners are useless and just more sucking up to American companies.

I wrote to my local member (ALP), and got a different letter in response, one that clearly indicated my member (or staffer thereof) had read my submission.
Unfortunately, that response brushed aside the 43% failure rate in the Sydney trial with an explanation that security officials would monitor the efficiency and efficacy of the scanners on an ongoing basis. Apparently, flipping a coin for whether you have a bomb or not is Good Enough security.

Good thing we're not trying to reduce spending to meet some idiotic political promise about hitting a surplus.
