Updated: What Airports Have Full-Body Scanners Right Now

March 2, 2010 at 11:44 AM | by | Comments (0)

It's been too long since last time we really delved into the full-body scanning controversy, aside from that brief bit about the Pope hating full-body scanners. And now that more and more of the pricey, privacy-invading machines are being ordered up and delivered to airports, we thought it was about time to take another look at where you'll be encountering the massive gadgets.

The newest airports to the full-body scanning game are Chicago O'Hare and Boston Logan, with Boston welcoming their first of three scanners only yesterday. O'Hare is expecting to get their this week as well, and it will go into Terminal 1 with United, which means a significant amount of O'Hare flights will be screened throught them since this is United's home base. But although the scanners have arrived, they won't be operational and pushed on the passengers for another few weeks as employee training finishes and the things get plugged in.

Vive le full-body scan! More international airports join in, after the jump

More new full-body scanners on the block are Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport and London-Heathrow. London got theirs in early February, but you won't encounter them unless you are suspicious-looking, whereas Paris is "testing" using their new machines on passengers for all US-bound flights for a period of three months. Manchester Airport in the UK also claims to be testing their machines, but they're at the heart of the body-scan-as-child-porn issue, so we don't know how much longer that'll be going on.

And let's not forget Canada, since some Olympic fans are most likely passing through full-body scanners on their way out of Vancouver, since Vancouver International already has them, as does Toronto's Pearson Airport. So now they've updated the latest on full-body scanners for March 2010, here's the current list:
