MHT's Scanners

FRom WMUR NH:
"Full-Body Scanners Coming To Manchester Airport"

Manchester Boston Regional Airport will soon be getting full-body scanners in time for the holiday season, according to the Transportation Security Administration. The scanners have been controversial because they take an X-ray image that some say shows too much. The TSA said it is addressing privacy concerns with update software that shows less detail. "The image is always deleted after it's evaluated. Once the person is clear, the officer presses delete. It can't be recalled, saved, printed," said Ann Davis, from the TSA. Those who don't want to go through the scanners can still opt out and get a pat-down instead.

^ This is the closet airport to where I live and I try to use it whenever I can (especially considering the next closest airport to me is Boston.) I have never had any issues with the TSA at Manchester - knock on wood - and hope that with the new scanners that trend will continue. I don't mind using the full-body scanners. I went through them in Boston. My issues is when you go through the full-body scanner and then the TSA give you the full pat-down because you wore a belt. Can't the scanner see under a belt? That's what happened to me at Boston. The TSA says they will start using new software that will make the scanners more private so that and some common sense from the TSA at the airports should make things better. I just hope they don't get worse at MHT. ^
