"Whole Body Imaging" machines are being added to additional airports after their initial testing in Phoenix, AZ. The machines are controversial because TSA agents will be able to see people without their clothes essentially. They are the x-ray glasses horny teens always hoped for. The TSA claims privacy advocates having nothing to worry about though, "At JFK, passengers sent to secondary screening will be given the option of a pat-down or a trip through the body imager. To protect the traveler's privacy, the screener who reviews the image is in a booth, unable to see the traveler, according to the TSA. The traveler's face is pixilated and the image is not stored, the TSA said."

In addition to JFK look for the Imager at LAX and other major airports across the country.

    • If was not for people trying to circumvent the system sticking stuff in their bodies cavities we wouldn't have to go through this uncomfortable Xray screening process. Clarity, I do sympathize with you and your bad experience on abuse from this TSA agent. Physical attractive individuals will always be subject to trigger overbearing behavior from jerks. Sad to say but guys like that lives on a confinement world and hardly have sex with anyone. Testosterone hits their heads and their frustration pops right out of it. At this level their behavior problem is associated with their lack of education, courtesy plus abusive behavior. Worse, they use this form of aggressiveness to compensate for their frustration on lack of sexual contact. Sad indeed!

    • I'm really bias on this one. I was taking a quick flight down to San Diego and had the TSA agent that was working at the security check point make a couple sexual comments to me. I was tempted to let it go, but after I asked him to stop and he kept going I filed a formal complaint. I was 19 at the time, but easily passed for 16, which makes it even scarier to think about what was going through his mind. Needless to say I am not at all comfortable with a man like that being anywhere near this new process.
