Following a successful pilot phase in Phoenix, the TSA has reported that it will expand its whole body imaging technology testing to JFK and LAX in the near future. Whole body imaging is an alternative to a security checkpoint pat-down search. The technology captures an image of the whole body (hence the name) and is hailed as a more reliable method of detecting and resolving anomalies in the passenger screening process.

Readers, what say you–for or against?
