"Backscatter" X-ray Screening Technology
Discussion of privacy concerns related to backscatter X-ray screening at airport security checkpoints, where "a passenger is scanned by rastering or moving a single high energy x-ray beam rapidly over their form. The signal strength of detected backscattered x-rays from a known position then allows a highly realistic image to be reconstructed." Includes links to news stories and websites. From the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a research center focusing on civil liberties issues.
