It's called a backscatter X-ray, but critics call it a digital strip-search

E61Silver is an unknown quantity at this point
The use of the machine is optional, in lieu of a hand search.

I think it sounds fine to me.

Saw that this am. I have no problem with it, personally.
I would feel safer also. I don't know about the X-rated Xray,
but if it is really toned down, why not?

I don't think it shows much more than what would be visible if the person wore a Lycra body suit like speed skaters wear. Given that they can single you out for a pat-down already I think the scan is less intrusive.

I would much rather be X-Rayed than patted down.
