Leave Your Modesty At Home When Traveling Through Phoenix

On Friday, the Phoenix airport introduced a new scanner technology that allows security workers to see through people’s clothes and show body definition with a level of clarity not before seen. So much so, that the TSA adjusted the scanners so that body pictures can be blurred in certain areas while detecting.

If this idea of security workers seeing you naked makes you uncomfortable don’t worry. The new screening device is only being used as a secondary measure for those who fail standard screening with a metal detector, and opt to be scanned by the device instead of a pat-down search.

In order to be scanned passengers stand in front of a closet-sized X-ray with palms facing out, and then turn around. The process only takes about one minute. If the trial is successful, the TSA hopes to introduces them to LAX and JFK, the two busiest airports in the country, in an effort to speed up security sceening.
