The Transportation Security Agency (TSA) introduced body scanners after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The body scanners showed naked pictures of full clothed passengers as they walked throught the machines. These machines helped airport employees ensure that passengers were not hiding weapons and/or drugs in their body parts and belongings.
Since 2004, travellers have argued that their privacy was being violated. Critics also said that the body scanners violated the fourth amendment rights of passengers because the body scanners essentially searched them without a warrant.
The TSA enlisted a company called Rapiscan, to make the body scanners. But, after the company could not install privacy software in the machines by the deadline set by Congress, the TSA decided to remove all the machines.
While travellers will no longer feel violated at the airport because the TSA plans to remove the body scanners by June 1, 2013, passengers still have to walk through machines that show an outline of their body. This is expected to lead to faster lanes and better security.
