"It's the wave of the future," said James Schear, the TSA security director at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, where two body scanners are in use at one checkpoint.
Schear said the scanners could eventually replace metal detectors at the nation's 2,000 airport checkpoints and the pat-downs done on passengers who need extra screening. "We're just scratching the surface of what we can do with whole-body imaging," Schear said.

I can't wait until celebrity body scans start showing up in the gossip rags. Better yet, online - this could be bigger than YouTube. Baby, we'll be rich!
It's pretty spooky though that - at least according to USATODAY - nobody seems to care all that much. In this day and age.
Stepping into the 9-foot-tall glass booth, Eileen Reardon of Baltimore looked startled when an electronic glass door slid around the outside of the machine to create the image of her body. "Some of this stuff seems a little crazy," Reardon said, "but in this day and age, you have to go along with it."
Do as you're told and everything will be fine. You'll be safe. You want to be safe, don't you? Of course you do. Stand still and hold your arms up high. Good girl.
Next.
