Security scanner that can see through peoples clothes

At the Phoenix Airport in Phoenix, Arizona, they have tested a new X-Ray device that can see through your clothes and show every curve of your body. The Transportation Security Administration made it so that they could blur out certain areas, but still catch any concealed weapons. Right now it is voluntary to be scanned, so you do not have to go through the scanner if you do not want to. It only takes a minute for them to scan you and they will be testing the device for 90 days. The pictures the scanner produces won't be seen by the security person who works with you but by another officer who can't see you. Also the scanner can not store images or transmit them at all. Do you think that's a bit creepy or not? I think since it's voluntary it's not so big of a deal, but it is not something I would want to do willingly.

Nice security system. So they have to see everything even your face? Then that is creepy. But on the other hand that kind of security will be somewhat accurate in detecting weapons or illegal things.

WOW now I have heard everything. you can be sure that if it works out in Arizona it will be placed in all the airports in USA. I don't think I would like to be scanned that way.
