EPIC and Ralph Nader Call for an End to Body Scanners
Groups call for the end of whole body scanning at U.S. Airports. They said that the technology has not been independently reviewed for effectiveness and health impact. Further, they charge that privacy protections must be assured in a way that prevents changes in policy, without public notice. At the beginning of last year the TSA announced plans to replace medal detectors with whole body scanning technology.
