Airports using new body scanning x-rays
Swims turtle flies a lot, and while he finds the post 9/11 security a bit of a bother, its really the new body scanning x-rays (backscatter x-ray) being rolled out that has him concerned (no looking under my shell damnit!)
For those unfamiliar with the new technology it is a walk through machine that scans the entire body. Reports are that it can see the sweat on ones back- so obviously anything concealed under clothing would be seen. Swims turtle has seen reports that one can refuse this privacy invasion (and opt for what a pat down? a friendly strip search?). So swims turtle would like to compile a list of airports using the new technology. Swims turtle has recently flown through both Sea-tac (seattle WA) and OAK (Oakland CA) and did not see any such device- though he an not confirm either way if they might have been used elsewhere in the airport. He has heard reports from a friend that PDX (portland or) was using it- but a quick google search has been unable to confirm this. So the list so far- confirmed from major news reports. USA: Los Angeles CA (LAX) Baltimore MD (BWI) Denver CO New York's Kennedy airport Dallas Detroit Las Vegas Miami Reagan National Airport in Washington DC. San Francisco, California (SFO) Miami, Florida Albuquerque, New Mexico Tulsa, Oklahoma Salt Lake City, Utah Orlando FL Canada: Kelowna OTHER COUNTRIES: Amsterdam's Schiphol Moscow Russia Osaka Japan Swims turtle has read reports that 38 or more US airports should be using these by now- but hasn't yet been able to locate the others. please- if you add to the list please post only airports confirmed by news media or first hand experience. If info is second hand or otherwise unconfirmed please state as such |
