Transportation Security Officer

Of the two imaging systems the AIT is far less invasive using the generic body images.The backscatter systems use the chalk like visual image it is still of the actual person being processed and AIT with enhanced programming is not at all locations.Ellen Terrell told a CBS reporter she was made to go through the scanner three times and the female TSA officer told her she had a "cute figure."At a point Terrell stated she heard the female officer state,"Come on,guys!"and"They're not blurry.I'm going to let her go." While a female officer must perform a"pat down"of another female there is no such requirement on the officer viewing the image.the question was asked,"Why would female agents do such a thing?",and the answer was,"So the male agents viewing the scans could get a better look at their bodies.".The TSA issued a statement that the"TSA does not profile passengers.",but According to CBS,DFW no longer uses the body scan machines,referred to as the "see-you-naked machine",
