TSA to remove ‘nude’ body scanners from American airports

by Laura Domela

Good news for those who felt Transportation Security Administration officers were getting to know them a little too well. The TSA will soon remove all body scanners that show nearly nude images of people trying to board flights.

The TSA decided to end a $5 million contract with OSI’s Rapiscan Systems unit after it couldn’t meet congressional demands to make the images less revealing. Rapiscan apparently couldn’t figure out how to make its software display less nakedness while still showing security threats.
