TSA Unveils Whole Body Imaging System At Los Angeles International Air

LOS ANGELES, CA - APRIL 17: A computer monitor viewed by a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officer reveals details of the body of a fully-clothed employee of L3 Communications Security and Detection Systems as she is scanned inside a ProVision whole body imaging machine at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on April 17, 2008 in Los Angeles, California. TSA officers will use the Millimeter Wave Whole Body Imaging Technology machine randomly to screen for weapons and explosives beginning this week, according to officials, despite complaints from privacy advocates that the technology reveals too much of one's private anatomy to strangers. L3 and TSA officials say that being scanned by the machines is safe. Travelers at LAX will be continuously and randomly selected to go through the machine. While signs will inform them of a pat-down option, screeners will not announce that choice. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)
