This document discusses airport security and the debate around full body scanners. It notes that simple items can be smuggled through security and points to the underwear bomber as an example. President Obama has announced plans to increase security by using full body scanners to detect firearms. The scanners being tested do not use radiation. Privacy advocates like Marc Rotenberg argue that the images captured by the scanners are an invasion of privacy, though the government says they will be deleted after viewing. The document questions whether safety or privacy should come first in this debate.
