Idaho Says No to Whole Body Scanners in Airports

The Idaho legislature passed House Bill 573 58-9 in favor of stopping the use of full-body imaging systems from being used in state airports. Representative Phil Hart (R-Athol) introduced the bill by raising questions about the safety of the technology and what health impacts may result from its use. The backers of the bill said that Americans should not sacrifice freedoms for security.
