TSA's controversial full-body screeners have landed at the Tulsa International Airport with passengers already testing the pricey machines (each one costs $170,000) to largely positive reviews. From USA Today:
The 35-year reign of airport metal detectors began its slow descent this week in Tulsa, where for the first time some passengers are skipping metal detectors. People are instead being screened in a 9-foot-high portal with glass shields that rotate to produce vivid pictures of what is underneath passengers' clothing.
Yet the machines did not stir as much "privacy rights" concern as we would think.
