Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano “Opts Out” of X-Ray Scan
October 23rd, 2010Via: New York Daily News:
Airline passengers might want to consider a trip to the gym before heading to the airport now that high-tech body scanners have been unveiled at Kennedy Airport.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano yesterday hailed them as an important breakthrough for airport security and the fight against terrorism.
Yet when it came to testing the devices – which produce chalky, naked X-ray images of passengers – she turned the floor over to some brave volunteers.
“These machines represent an important way to stay ahead of the ever-evolving threat that faces the aviation industry,” Napolitano said.
Frankly, I can’t conceive of any normal American male interested in seeing the naked body of Janet Napolitano.
