U.S. wants to promote "naked security screening" at US airports

According to the report of the “New York Times” of the United States, after the attempted bombing, the relevant parties in the United States hope to promote the whole-body scanning and security inspection technology at the airport in the United States. However, due to the security measures involved in violation of personal privacy issues, it caused widespread debate in the United States. Unlike the metal detectors currently used worldwide, the whole body scanning system uses radio waves to scan and generate images of the entire body of the passenger so that abnormal items hidden in the human body can be seen through the meat.

Supporters believe that if used properly, full-body scanning technology can improve airport security and prevent similar bombings. Michael Chertoff, former U.S. Department of Homeland Security, said that if this technology is adopted, the explosives hidden in Motalab's underpants can be detected completely.

Personal privacy advocates objected to this. They believe that body scanning technology will expose the body contours of passengers, which "strongly infringes on" personal privacy and therefore should not be promoted.

At present, 19 airports in the United States have decided to use full-body scanning security technology, and six airports have used it as a major security measure.
