In excitement for spring break, it seems I begin to hear more and more about this "full-body scanner". It is somewhat new, however people are not catching on like they had hoped. The scanner is aimed to make security in airports not only faster, but also more safe. By simply going through the scanner however, security is able to see a persons body - entirely. "Entirely" is the key word and is where people become so uncomfortable with the security check.
If a person is so uncomfortable with it, they are able to opt out of the check and have a good old-fashioned "pat-down". However, in hopes to raise the amount of people willing to go through the scanner, the "pat-down" is becoming a lot more physical and uncomfortable for people to go through as security is getting a lot more hands on.
In my opinion, although I am not comfortable with people seeing my body like that, I am willing to go a little extra to ensure safety. With this new technology, I hope people begin to see that so many people travel on a plane, and in the long run, safety far outweighs any slight uncomfortableness that will shortly be forgotten.
- miner moments.
