I’m very glad I saw this article about the ultra-revealing search x-ray they are using at U.S. Customs. Now I know what I could be up against if I ever was suspected of smuggling items. “BodySearch scans are so sharp that the shape of a person’s navel is visible, along with the shapes of other, more private parts.” The manufacturer says it’s less invasive than a strip search, but it is certainly more eerie to me that someone could save images of all of me. Unless they videotape strip searches, which they certainly may for all I know. U.S. Customs says these scans are voluntary. Does that mean they get to strip search you if you refuse?
