Of the two imaging systems the AIT is far less invasive using the
generic body images.The backscatter systemsuse 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.
