According to USA TODAY:
Body-scanning machines that show images of
people underneath their clothing are being installed in 10 of the
nation’s busiest airports in one of the biggest public uses of security
devices that reveal intimate body parts.The Transportation
Security Administration (TSA) recently started using body scans on
randomly chosen passengers in Los Angeles, Baltimore, Denver,
Albuquerque and at New York’s Kennedy airport.
I travel frequently through BWI (Baltimore) and I’ve seen the machines. Man they are scary looking! So I suppose I’ll eventually be subject to one of these. I don’t really care, as long as the machines are not saving the image and tying it to me personally, and as long as they don’t end up on the internet. I’m already self-conscious about my love handles, there’s no need to spread that kind of love around.
