NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The controversial full body airport scanners are being removed from LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy International, the Transportation Security Administration announced Sunday.

The Backscatter machines were first used at JFK exactly two years ago amid a flurry of controversy.
WCBS 880′s Peter Haskell reports from LaGuardia Airport.

Opponents said the very detailed image of the human body provided by the machines is an invasion of privacy, while others argued the level of radiation emitted by the Backscatters could be dangerous over the long term.

The TSA said its decision to pull the machines is in an effort to speed up security lines at the two New York City airports, and insists the full body scanners are safe.

Some passengers at LaGuardia said they did not mind the use of the Backscatter body scanner machines.

“It didn’t bother me personally. Again, if I want to be a safe on a plane, if that’s what they need to do to get us on there and have us arrive safely, it’s fine by me,” one woman told WCBS 880′s Peter Haskell.

“Just feel real confident. Once I go through there, I know everything’s been checked out,” another air traveler told Haskell.
Each Backscatter machine costs $160,000, Haskell reported.

“If they can keep the same level of security then I have no issue with it, but they have to get an alternative to make sure that the passengers and the airlines are secure,” another traveler told Haskell.

Officials said currently there are nearly 250 full body scanners at 37 airports nationwide.

Newark Liberty International Airport uses a completely different machine called a millimeter wave machine, which is considered to be a safer technology.

I just heard on the radio coming home that they're removing them from LAX also.

Either they are feeling the pressure (which they will flatly deny, of course)
OR
There's something more sinister planned.

One report I read stated that those machines were breaking down frequently and causing security line delays, therefore they were being relocated to 'lower volume' airports where the 'frequent breakdowns' won't be such an issue. But who knows for sure except the bureaurats at the top. One thing is a safe bet - Michael Jerkoff will get to continue selling his RapeScan machines to the TSA.

Such a psyop. Three comments in favor of the machines given by the dumbed down publik. Two anti-machine arguments, but none given by the publik and only generalized negatives too. All the key phrases seemed to have been covered in the piece. It's all good though. Chertoff got his money.

They don't need no stinking machines to know your guilty, they just need to look at you.

Sounds like somebody is ready for the rectal screenings.

Backscatter? Haha. Funny name. They'll probably replace it with the GE AutoM-Assreamer, or to save money, the Fryoplunger 2000. That'll get the lines moving.

Right. These scanners aren't fit for the biggest and most high-profile airports, but for the smaller ones they are essential.

Sounds to me like the sensor array covering the entire airport full-time is up and running.

Are you ready for the worst pun in GSUS history?

Naked body scanners will make your day, but anal GPS will make your hole weak!

Sorry.

Now that they have removed them, get ready for the a 'Terrorist' attack just around the corner. Oct surprise? Wouldnt be much of a surprise to me.

"All the world is a stage......."


Im sure some 'real' Terrorist somewhere is planning an attack. It will be a 'coincidence' when he executes his plan just after the scanners have been removed!
