A new TSA body scanner is being tested at the Las Vegas airport. TSA said that it is being tested because the current one is raising too many privacy issues. We know that it is an invasion of privacy, but what about our health???
This new trial system does not involve new machines. Instead, it relies on new software…yes, that means it is still the old clunky machine, full of radiation, but the new photo that comes from it will make it seem like it’s all ‘okay’. “The ignorant travelers won’t know the difference!”

The new software now discards the x-ray-style image that revealed the contours of your body- you know, the one that showed your private parts. The new image is said to look like a chalk outline of a body at a crime scene. The new software gives your image coverage like clothes!
The new machine takes your picture/scans you, and the machine automatically says “OK” or it doesn’t, then the security lets you pass through if your image makes the cut. If you don’t pass the scan, you have to do the old fashioned pat down stop after the scan…so if you’re packing heat then you know the consequences.
