Security or peep show? Airport tries new scanner

Beginning Tuesday, travelers using the Salt Lake City International Airport's Terminal Two have an option to go through a new high-tech unit, instead of the metal detectors, that will scan their bodies and produce images that civil rights advocates worry are so graphic that they will invade their privacy.

The new scanners are quicker and easier to use with little mistakes possible. granted it shows a interesting picture but you would have a hard time getting a weapon through it. I believe that soon people will sacrifice some of their privacy to feel safer on a plane.

It does not surprise me that the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Agency would want these devices in all airports. I have seen the images they produce and I can safely say that they are pretty graphic.

It is my belief the DHS and TSA has no real clue as to what real security measures are.

I really hope that they get these full body scanners banned from use. I feel they show too much of the passenger to the person looking at the image. You might as well fly naked.
