Thanks for clearing that up. I had been hearing things such as how it will pick up breast implants, prosthetics and things of that nature.

I’d rather get “scanned” than fall out of the air. Just sayin’.

“forcing him to endure this gross intrusion into his privacy”
You have a point. OTOH if government expects the sheeple to endure the identical gross intrusion into privacy, then it seems a bit hypocritical not to permit the same on its employees.
Put a different way: if the government recognized this to be a gross intrusion of privacy and for that reason exempted its employees from the indignity, it effectively has conceded that the sheeple are right to be upset at the use of such intrusive technology.
Conversely, by subjecting its employees to the same procedure, the government is signaling that the technology is no big deal.
Thus while I concur with other posters that using this technology is not necessary or even particularly effective, I’d rather the government be at least consistent in its positions rather than knowingly subjecting the sheeple to a procedure so odious that it exempts its own employees.

I have a feeling the Feds have been lying to us about how much these full-body scanners can really see. For instance, in
this picture, you can't see the *unit* at all. So, if the mocked guy's unit in the article could really be seen and commented on, it is clear that the Feds are lying to us.

I used to know a guy who was hung like a mouse...his wife put it charitably: “It’s not the size of the wand, it’s the magic in it”...

It's probably more like this, which is disturbing.

The original
picture we have all seen. Notice it doesn't show as many body features as
this one. I think they deliberately don't want to upset the public by how much can really be seen.
