The Airport Full Body Scanners Essay
Before the attacks on September 11, 2001, there was hardly any security in airports throughout the United States. However, airports went from
hardly any security to full–body scanners. According to the article Airport Full–Body Scanners, President Obama stated in a press conference on

share intelligence, this was a failure to connect and understand the intelligence we already had, but a metal detector can't detect the kind of
explosives that were sewn into his clothes" (2010). Arguing the idea of full–body scanners, some officials believe the images are violating the
passengers, especially if the passengers are under the age of eighteen. Nonetheless, other officials would argue the full–body scanners are a better
method of spotting dangerous substances and materials than just the ordinary metal detectors. According to Alycia B. Taylor and Sara Steedman,

to act as security screeners. Some of these people could carry threats to the aircraft or the passengers. "In May 2000, Department of
Transportation Inspector General agents use fictitious law enforcement badges and credentials to gain access to secure areas, bypass security
checkpoints at two airports, and walk unescorted to aircraft departure
