How do these new full body scans work?
Last time I was in an airport was September of '10 and since then I know they have installed many full body scanners. I was wondering, how do they work? Do you just walk in, stand still, and then move along? Also, do kids or teens (12 & 14) have to go through? Or do they just go through a normal metal detector? I'm very confused, and I am flying tomorrow, so JW. Idc if I do have to go through a detector, but I'm just wondering. Sorry if I sound very ignorant. I'll be in these airports throughout the following week, which ones do have the full-body scanners? Do they all? -Cleveland Hopkins -John Wayne -Denver International -Dallas Fort Worth Thanks!

Answer 1 :
Idk what airports will have them but I heard that all airports are getting them. At the airport I had applied for if you look suspicious or if you go off in the metal detector you then go through that scanner. You just stand still with hands in the air and get scanned. It is the same for adults and kids alike. Also the scanner does not show porno-grade images as the news stated. The face isn't even shown and you can barely even make out the body. Images also are not saved. Have a fun and safe plane ride
Answer 2 :
Ignorance simply means you don't know - so you take steps to find out more - as you are doing, which I take to be a sign of intelligence. This is a list, from the TSA, that indicates which airports have those scanners. There is a whole section in the TSA site about them - and this only one of the links: http://www.tsa.gov/approach/tech/ait/faqs.shtm Denver and Dallas do have those scanners. The other 2 do not - at least according to the list. Also: Q. Is imaging technology optional? A. Yes, imaging technology screening is optional for all passengers. Passengers who do not wish to receive imagining technology screening will receive alternative screening, including a physical pat-down.
Answer 3 :
You walk in, stand with your legs and arms apart, wait a second, and then exit. If anything is found the machine will buzz and you will then be given a pat down in the area that had something suspicious set off the alarm. It is entirely optional to go through these. If you do not want to go through it just state, "I would prefer a pat down" and they will call an officer of the same sex over to pat you down, and you may be asked to walk through a traditional metal detector first. The images of the scans are no where visible down on the floor where the scans are taken place so no one but the officers working up in a different room will see the scan.
