US Senators Send Letter Opposing TSA Approach on Airport Body Scanners
Senators Collins (R-ME), Kyl (R-AZ), and Chambliss (R-GA) encouraged Secretary Napolitano to consider "auto-detection" devices instead of human screeners to address privacy concerns. The technology available and fielded in Europe is much more advanced and addresses health and privacy concerns in its design and implementation. The dehumanizing experience of being digitally disrobed for inspection by another person is not performed. Instead computers perform the task of checking images of passengers for items that might pose a risk to air travel.
