TSA to remove controversial X-ray scanners - Yahoo! News
We all knew that those X-ray scanners did more harm and I always avoid them like a plague.

At first, both types of scanners showed travelers naked. The idea was that security workers could spot both metallic objects like guns as well as non-metallic items such as plastic explosives. The scanners also showed every other detail of the passenger's body, too.
The TSA defended the scanners, saying the images couldn't be stored and were seen only by a security worker who didn't interact with the passenger.

Scanners are often used in prisons or on military bases where privacy is not a concern.

So if you step into prison or on military bases - refuse to be scanned lest your naked picture might be stored for ever.

The contract to change the software on the scanners came under scrutiny in November when the TSA delivered a "show cause" letter to the company looking into allegations that it falsified test data, which the company denied.

Again, what was the falsified data? If my compay falsifies something then I get sued, company get sued and am liable to pay any or all damages - here nothing Rapiscan get a slap on the wrist!!!
