You've seen the pictures. Near-naked photos produced by airport scanners.
I have always felt that until the President and Congress and the Supreme Court all published the photos of the scans of their spouses and children, I would never believe any statements by any of them that these do not violate privacy.
Attractive women have been singled out for these scans by the low-skill laborers operating them (TSA). And thousands of scans have been leaked onto the internet.
There are several types of scanners. The millimeter wave scanners manufactured by L-3 Communications are able to take the images and produce a cartoonish figure which highlights those areas which may have something of interest for the goons to examine.
Something like this:
These are not being discontinued.
There is another type of scanner which uses X-rays. Yeah, X-rays.
These are made by Rapidscan and the company has not been able to create software which produces the stick figures. They still make the near-naked photos.
So they are out.
Good news.
