The number of terrorist attacks have significantly decreased since the scanning program has started because it became more difficult for passengers to bring dangerous or illegal items on board.
No thats not true think about the Malaysian air crashes and the german air wings that could not have been prevented with the scanners because those were done by the pilots.
The metal detector can only detect metal. Back then, that was good enough but technology and weapons have become more complex. Now they have liquid and plastic explosives. The body scanners can detect all of that while the metal detectors can't.
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.

The TSA has also helped many veterans, and injured warriors during this program. TSA has assistance for injured veterans and wounded warriors. TSA also helps assist travelers with disabilities and medical conditions which makes it easier for their traveling experience.
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.
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.
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.
Some people do not like the opt our option because they feel like they are being touched in a inappropriate way, but usually officers do not mean it in that way and are never allowed to lie about the scanner. If this happens you are allowed to report to the police and they will go to jail.
Again it is a ghost like image of the body NOT graphic! The scanning viewers do not know who is in the scanner either, it is harmless. Don't forget, there is always the opt out option.
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.”
Actually there have been reports of officers keeping pictures of the scans such as this one: vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
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.
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.
Well even though the scanners dont produce that much radiation, they still need to buy dosimeters to measure the radiation just to make sure so that wastes money.
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.

We will be talking about how the TSA shouldn’t be permitted to use ‘advanced imaging technology’ to peer under passengers’ clothing in search of dangerous items. The TSA shouldn’t be allowed because the TSA Scanners just violate the 4th amendment because the 4th amendment says that people have the right to not be searched. People should have the choice to not be searched and use the metal detectors if they want to. The Scanners can also cause diseases in people such as basal cell carcinoma and cancer.TSA Scanner s are also easily hacked so people can get through them easily with weapons. We will be arguing about these following points in the debate, diseases, hacking, and violation of privacy & the 4th amendment.
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.”
No matter how many times the US TSA claims the machines are safe and pose no threat to travelers or personnel naked body scanners that emit radiation are, indeed, a very serious health threat.
The people viewing scanners are in a remote place that will be away from the other passengers which will raise fewer privacy concerns. Since the viewers are in another room, they do not know who is in the scanner. No cameras, phones, or printers are in the scanning room so they woould not be able to save the photos, as it is illegal. It doesn't exactly violate the peoples privacy because the photos are ghost like NOT graphic. The AIT scans under peoples clothing for metallic or nonmetallic threats without touching the person.
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.
Well the TSA Scanners can't always be right because there is only one officer looking at the scans, so if he is bribed or wants to let someone pass with an illegal item, they can. That is why the TSA Scanners aren't always the best results.

Here is an example of an officer being bribed by people to let them pass with drugs VVV
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.”
2 Officers have been fired for groping a passenger that looked attractive to them by changing the gender on the scanner so that the scanner believes that the passenger is holding weapons. After they changed the gender, they preformed a pat down and groped the passenger.
“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.”
Even though the scanners in the airport don't produce that much radiation, the officers still need to buy a dosimeter for every single person to make sure that they are safe from radiation.
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.
The TSA has been quietly removing its X-ray body scanners from major airports and replacing them with machines that radiation experts believe are safer.
The TSA scanners have been reported to increase cancer rates. The scanners also cause 85% of basal cell carcinoma disease out of 800,000 per year.That is 680,000 people getting basal cell carcinoma from the scanners.
As time goes by they are trying to make the scanners shorter and shorter. Now scanning only takes 15 seconds, and they are trying to make the process even faster. 15 seconds is really nothing, remember SAFETY COMES FIRST.
As you can see, our points prove that the TSA Scanners should be removed and that they shouldn't be used anymore because of all the risks and cases of it. The Scanners have not always been used for good reasons either. That is why they should remove them.
