2. Do you agree with Kate Hanni that this high-tech scanner is an invasion of privacy? Or do you think that it is just a necessary safety precaution? Post your response.

If the invasion of privacy is the fact that the TSA can see our entire body, I don't think we have anything to worry about. Even if the TSA officials are secretly laughing at the fact that you don't have curves, or are commenting on how attractive your body is, the people who see your body won't see your face, and you will never see them. I'd rather be scanned and have random people looking at the outline of my body rather than being frisked in front of other passengers.

I completely agree with her. I have felt this way since I heard about these new machines, and even after reading this I don't like it. I don't like that they can see our entire body, and the fact that our full body scans are being sent over the internet makes me upset. I actually had to go through one of these scanners when I went to Florida last year, and while I didn't make a big deal out of it then, I still didn't like it. Actually, they picked me out of a group of people to go through it, while my mom and my brothers all went through the less high-tech scanners. -Chelsie
