In conclusion advanced imaging technology should be used to peer under people’s clothes to find metallic or nonmetallic threats. This method of security is not harmful to a person's health because it doesn’t use X-rays to look the person’s clothes, it bounces electromagnetic radiation off your body. If you don’t feel comfortable with this method you are allowed to opt out and the alternative will be a pat-down.

Can you please post the source where you found this information.

It is good that they spend money to make sure that the scanners are in good condition. People then can pass through the scanners without worrying if it will harm them.

Hamza you need to check your spelling before you try to make a point.

Would you rather get hurt by someone who brought a liquid explosive onto the plain or wait 2-3 minutes to safe a persons life.

Thank you for agreeing with us Tobias. You are right the TSA removed the Backscatter technology which uses X-rays to scan people.

I'm sorry, you are posting the same thing over and over. If I have to say something 3 times for you to finally understand it, then thats fine with me.

Can you please post the source where you got this information from because you should read what scanner they use.

Thats why they use millimeter wave technology which bounces off harmless electromagnetic waves. Before you say something read what I've written because I have already said they use millimeter wave technology.

Advanced Imaging Technology is considered safe for everyone; including pregnant woman, individuals with medical transplants and children.

“These alleged acts are egregious and intolerable. TSA has removed the two officers from the agency,” the agency said in a statement. “All allegations of misconduct are thoroughly investigated by the agency. And when substantiated, employees are held accountable.”

Yes! Another reason why body scanners are safe to use. The technology of these machines are accurate which encourage safety

If you opt out of the scan you have to have a pat down because then the officers think your hiding something. The TSA officers don't scan your body for fun. They scan it because they are projecting the citizens of the country.

Eighty-one percent of people think airports should use these new machines.

Each full body scan with backscatter produces less than 10 microREM the equivalent to the exposure each person receives in about 2 minutes of airplane flight. The energy emitted by millimeter wave technology is thousands of times less than what is permitted for a cell phone.

Supreme Court suggested, “screening passengers at an airport is an ‘administrative search’ because the primary goal is not to determine whether any passenger has committed a crime but rather to protect the public from a terrorist attack.”

The Supreme Court acknowledged “the steps the TSA has already taken to protect passenger privacy, in particular distorting the image created using AIT and deleting it as soon as the passenger has cleared.”

They don't pierce under your skin, they bounce electromagnetic waves off your body.

Advanced Imaging Technology is not dangerous to people’s health because the TSA operate using millimeter wave technology, they work by bouncing HARMLESS electromagnetic waves off your body and showing a 3D image of the body.

You still have your clothes on. They are scanning under you clothes to look for dangerous weapons. The alternative is a pat down which is worse than the scanner because they have to touch you.

You get more radiation from the plane than the scanner. The technology they use meets national health and safety standards. Kristin Lee a spokeswoman from TSa said “It would take more than 1,000 screenings per individual per year to exceed radiation standards.”

Advanced Imaging Technology is not dangerous to people’s health because the TSA operate using millimeter wave technology, they work by bouncing HARMLESS electromagnetic waves off your body and showing a 3D image of the body.

Today we are going to discuss the 4th amendment which is Unlawful Searches and Seizures. The topic question is “Should the TSA be permitted to use ‘advanced imaging technology’ to peer under passengers’ clothing in search of dangerous items?” We say that they should be able to peer under people's clothes. The first point we are going to make is that they are not dangerous to people’s health, Advanced Imaging Technology is considered safe for everyone; including pregnant woman and individuals with medical transplants. Second the TSA allow you to opt out, the alternative is a pat-down. Lastly, the body scanner is not as harmful as an X-ray scanner because the device only peers under the passengers clothes and not into their skeletal system. The body scanner makes it more difficult for passengers to bring illegal or dangerous items into the airplane which also reduces the chance of terrorist attacks. Safety comes first.

No they should not help because they are in dept and if the U.S.A helps the country they will always want something in return.
