TSA Removes all body scanners-- criticized as too revealing

[bobbyw24]

Washington (CNN) -- The harshest critics labeled them "virtual strip searches." Airport passenger screening that produced particularly realistic full-body images using backscatter technology.

Others also expressed health concerns about low doses of radiation from the X-rays underpinning those scans.

Well, it's all over now as the Transportation Security Administration says it has met a June 1 deadline to remove all 250 backscatter machines from U.S. airports.

Travelers will still go through other full-body scans that rely on a system that uses radio waves and produces less detailed body imaging. The millimeter wave machines raise fewer privacy and virtually no health concerns.

awesome.

This is why COMPLIANCE is the key to tyranny. Don't comply and tyrants must scatter.

 

[Cowlesy]

Still go through the X-Ray machines, just don't have the goofy picture is all.

Still go through the X-Ray machines, just don't have the goofy picture is all.

Yup...

The millimeter wave scanners are still in place and being used. This is a fucking head fake; don't buy it.

End the TSA

Irrelevant. You're still subject to a patdown even if you didn't do anything wrong and even if:

...you are a nationally known politician.

"Take your groping like a man soldier!"

All of these image scanners can be fooled, making them expensive pieces of junk.

There are better ways to detect bombs that don't involve any xrays or body scans or pat downs of any kind.

For the record, I say they were secretly removed because they were TOO Dangerous. They lied on the effects, they lied on their x-ray measurements, etc... all money for that devil CHERTOFF & company. I covered that too....

[affa]

now, first off, i opt out every single time and would never go through any of these devices.

however -- they will never turn down a reason to get rid of extremely expensive machines and buy new extremely expensive machines. we fund the surveillance industry.

ABOLISH THE TSA ALTOGETHER.

The GOvt does not have Authority to deny Citizens the Right to Travel without DUE PROCESS OF LAW. Thus, one cant trave once incarcerated after conviction and sentencing. The TSA is the POLAR OPPOSITE. Guilt regardless of Innocense.

This is a total joke. The scanners continue and I can assure you that the pure crude forms of all these pictures are being saved and stored in a database. Not to mention, your body isn't supposed to be exposed to the high toxic dose of radiation.
