All passengers going through security checkpoints at Pittsburgh International Airport will be subject to screening by high-tech body scanners starting today, government and airport officials said.

The move isn’t related to bomb threats investigated Friday at airports in the United States, England and Dubai.

“It’s a more advanced and secure way to detect threats,” Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman Ann Davis said.

Pittsburgh received five body scanners this summer, valued at $170,000 apiece. They produce a two-sided image of a person’s body that resembles a chalk etching, with blurred facial features. In response to privacy concerns, TSA officers dealing directly with passengers don’t see scanned images; those who view images sit in a room with frosted glass so they can’t see passengers.

    You have the UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT to OPT-OUT and especially to OPT-OUT your kids!

    These machines totally invade your privacy, maybe give you cancer, and allows the thugs in TSA and other passengers to steal your stuff. Remember, you must remove your wallet, belt, all cash, paper, your boarding pass, passport, EVERYTHING before entering the strip search machine. Anybody can take your stuff.

    Click on my name above or google “DONT SCAN US” or go to:
