I’ve been scanned and patted down – the TSA was kind and polite. He did run his hands up my legs tapping my genital area. I could tell that he was just looking for anything suspicious. There was no creepy feeling and the stroking as fast and as professional possible. I would however, not feel comfortable watching my grandmother, wife, or children go through the same process.

At the heart of the controversy over “body scanners” is a promise: The images of our naked bodies will never be public. U.S. Marshals in a Florida Federal courthouse saved 35,000 images on their scanner – many of which are now published on the Internet.
