Cleveland Hopkins: TSA testing full body scanners
CLEVELAND -- The Transportation Security Administration has started testing two types of advanced imaging technology at Cleveland Hopkins Airport. The full body scanners allow screeners to see through a passenger's clothing.
The TSA says the new full body scanners will improve security and allow screeners to quickly scan passengers for potential weapons, both metallic and non-metallic, without physical contact.
The scanners will be put into use as soon as Hopkins workers are trained how to use them. The scanners will be used at the security checkpoint near Continental.
