Last week I had the pleasure of taking a walk through of the security operations of TSA at the BWI airport. On of the new initiatives is Security Checkpoint 2.0 or i guess now named Checkpoint of the Future.
This wonderful concoction of technology and invention boasts automatic bin retrieval systems, large divesture and composure areas (huge plusses for security processing efficiency), and my favorite part the whole body imaging scanners.
These very cool devices take a 360 scan of you in a few seconds while you stand in the chamber. Behind closed doors, a TSA screener views the image of you, guess what naked!!! This is a fabulous device in the name of security because they can see a very detailed image of your body and anything you maybe carrying. Good luck trying to sneak anything on your person with this device.
Personally, I think it is effective and am willing to sacrifice what some feel is a "privacy" right. Some argue that this is intrusive and violating a persons right to privacy.
Really though the concept of nudity has become an issue in society over the last few hundred years. How are we more private walking around with clothes on than without? Besides have you been to the airport in the summer? The amount of clothing wore by some is hardly providing privacy!
