Full Body Scans

Why is the mass use of full body scanners being considered, when there is a less intrusive way to accomplish the same results? It is a great invasion of privacy for screeners to view travelers naked. Most men would not object, but most men would be willing to fly naked if they could breeze through security. Most women would object. Women do not want to publicly be viewed naked. This is an invasion of privacy and dignity. There is a less invasive way to promote security while preserving human rights.

Instead of using full body scanners why not use thermal imagery? Screeners see travelers’ bodies as fully clothed while hidden items show up as dark areas. This would help secure our flying safety while protecting our basic human rights. It should also be less expensive to implement. A Tampa company, Thermal Matrix, has developed this technology. This gives you the opportunity to help protect the security of our nation and promote business in our state. It’s a win-win for Florida representatives.
