Comment Comment by panarky I used to opt out due to radiation and privacy concerns when airports were using the backscatter scanners.After US airports switched to millimeter wave scanners, I no longer opt out.My understanding is that the new scanners emit far less radiation, and no TSA agent operator is viewing naked images.The software presents a stylized body silhouette on a monitor that you and the TSA agent both view when you exit the scanner.If my understanding is correct, then isn't this a reasonable approach? parent panarky 11 years ago
After US airports switched to millimeter wave scanners, I no longer opt out.
My understanding is that the new scanners emit far less radiation, and no TSA agent operator is viewing naked images.

If my understanding is correct, then isn't this a reasonable approach?
