Reagan National Airport's Plans to Peer Under Travelers' Clothes
The airport plans to deploy body imaging devices that use millimeter wave length technology in an effort to virtually disrobe air travelers. The technology allows very detailed scans of persons entering the device and may disclose personal medical devices, surgeries, and medical conditions that are not otherwise apparent. Earlier versions of the technology were known as Backscatter X-ray systems.
