Some passengers in the key airports of New York and Los Angeles will soon face the devices that see through the clothes and give full image of the human body, allowing to see all the details that the security service needs.

The equipment has already been tested in Phoenix, Arizona and now will be installed around the whole country. The devices of full scanning have aroused complaints about the human rights, but the Transport Security Administration claims that they have arranged everything to protect the private life of the passenger and 90% of the passengers in Phoenix have preferred the new scanning method instead of the traditional personal search by the security officer.

The millimeter-wave scanners will appear this week in the International Kennedy airport in New York and in the international airports in Los Angeles and in California. 30 more airports will be equipped with new scanners during this year.

In the Kennedy airport the passengers that have been selected for the additional check will have the choice - to walk through the full scanning or to get searched personally. To keep the private life of the passenger, the security officer that works with the scanner will be located in a separate cabin, where he does not see the passengers personally. The faces of the passengers and intimate places will be smoothed at the scanner and the images will not be stored.

The millimeter-wave scanning - is a quick method, allowing to form a full 3-D holographic image in 2-4 seconds that can be rotated on the monitor screen to have a closer look at the items, located in the clothes and on the human body. It is successfully applied in the airports of Great Britain, Spain, Japan, Australia, Mexico, Thailand and the Netherlands in courts and penitentiary establishments of Virginia, Colorado, Pennsylvania, California and Illinois.
