Full-Body Scanner Arrives At Airport

According to AOLNews.com, just a few days ago, at Chicago O’hare airport, the full-body scanner began screening traveling passengers, producing revealing, nude-like images that made the device so controversial. O’hare International, the nation’s second busiest airport, is the first off 11 airports to receive the imaging technology under a $25 million federal program. Some 20 other U.S. airports already have the scanners. Next to receive this type of technology is Los Angeles International, Port Columbus International, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International and more. The 11 airports were chosen based on their threat level for a terrorist attack according to a TSA spokesperson. The full-body scanners, according to the article, are designed to find hard-to-detect explosives, like pentaerythritol tetranitrate. The scanners produce an x-ray like sketch of the passengers body that displays everything from concealed weapons to contours of the body. That’s why it’s controversial, some people feel violated. The American Civil Liberties Union say the technology is “ a striking and direct invasion of privacy”.
