MHT's New Scanners

From Union Leader:
"New-style scanners coming to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport"

Air travelers flying out of the state’s largest airport may be singing a new jingle next month — ‘All I want for Christmas is a full-body scan.’A spokesperson for the Transportation Security Administration said this week that at least one new full body scanner is expected to be delivered to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport and installed prior to the end of the year, and likely in place by the Christmas holiday.

The new scanners will be of the next-generation type, which made their debut in late July in Tampa, not the ones that displayed what amounted to naked images of passengers as they passed through, although visible only to TSA agents. This new version presents a generic outline of a human, similar to a crime scene outline. Air travelers are able to view the same outline that the TSA officer sees.

^ I don't have an issue with the new full-body scanners since it is a generic outline of a person and not a complete X-Ray. I have gone through the old full-body scanners in Logan and then had to have a full pat-down because the TSA didn't have a clue what they were doing. Hopefully, at MHT it will be more efficient with better training. ^
