  • How Safe Is an Airport Full Body Scanner?
    Brampton: 220 Wexford Road Unit 2 Brampton, ON L6Z-4N7 Ph: (905) 840-WELL Fax: (905) 840 -LIFE www.drjustineblainey.com www.blaineywellness.com How Safe is an Airport Full Body Scanner? By Ty Bollinger “Step onto the body scanner platform and place your hands in the air; it’s for your safety and security.” If you’ve traveled through a U.S. airport within the past few years, you’ve probably had a government screener say something along these lines. Every day travelers are herded through the checkpoint corrals into one of these anti-terrorism full body scanners. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) claims these so-called “advanced imaging technology” devices are just as safe as traditional metal detectors. But is this really true? When they were first rolled out post-911, backscatter X-ray tunnels quickly became standard fare at commercial aviation facilities nationwide. The TSA claimed the amount of low-intensity radiation emitted by these machines was safe, releasing less than 10 microREMs of radiation per screening. This is an amount equivalent to what an airplane passenger might incur after just two or three minutes of flying at cruising altitude. This claim was later debunked. It was revealed that concentrated radiation blasted directly at a person’s body is much more harmful than the random patterns of ionizing radiation sent in all directions from the cosmos and by an airplane’s navigational equipment during flight. Not long after these facts came to light, the TSA came up with a different type of screening technology that it said was safer − the millimeter wave machine.

This is an action under the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”), 5 U.S.C. § 552 (2010), for injunctive and other appropriate relief, seeking the release of agency records requested by the Electronic Privacy Information Center from the United States Transportation Security Administration. 2. This lawsuit challenges TSA’s failure to disclose documents in response to two of EPIC’s Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) requests (“EPIC’s FOIA Requests”) to the agency. 3. EPIC’s FOIA Requests seek agency records concerning the specifications and testing of automated target recognition (“ATR”) technology in relation to TSA’s full body scanner program. 4. Though EPIC filed its first FOIA request concerning ATR technology in June 2010, TSA has failed to disclose a single record, and has failed to comply with agency deadlines under the FOIA. 1 5. EPIC asks the Court to immediately order the disclosure of all responsive records. 6. On February1, 2011, TSA began testing ATR software, operating on its current full body scanner hardware, at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport. 7. TSA plans to begin testing ATR software, operating on its current full body scanner hardware, at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in the near future. 8. Body scanner vendors have claimed that ATR technology will partially address the privacy risks posed by body scanners.

As the legality of the TSA’s full-body scanner program continues to be debated, the federal government is investigating the next generation of airport screening technology. The privacy debate centers on the De- partment of Homeland Security’s use of full-body scanners to screen passengers at the nation’s major airports.

  • EPIC Testimony on Body Scanners
    Testimony and Statement for the Record of Marc Rotenberg President, EPIC Adjunct Professor, Georgetown University Law Center “TSA Oversight Part 1: Whole Body Imaging” Before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on National Security March 16, 2011 2154 Rayburn House Office Building. Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee, thank you for the opportunity to testify today on the TSA’s body scanner program. My name is Marc Rotenberg and I am the Executive Director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) and Adjunct Professor at Georgetown University Law Center, where I teach information privacy law. EPIC is a non-partisan research organization, focused on emerging privacy and civil liberties issues. EPIC has been involved in the airport body scanner issue for a long time. In 2005, EPIC published the first report that examined the privacy and health impacts of the TSA’s proposed body scanner technology.1 Since that time we have pursued a wide range of open government lawsuits, consulted with experts and advocates, organized public conferences, received complaints from the traveling public, and worked with other organizations that share our concerns about this program.2 We want to thank the committee for holding this hearing today. This is an important issue for the American public. We also want to thank you, Mr. Chairman, for your leadership on this issue and the sponsorship of bipartisan legislation that would prevent the TSA from deploying body scanners for primary screening. That bill passed the House in 2009 with more than 300 votes in favor. In my statement this morning I will outline the privacy objections to the TSA’s body scanner program, describe the documents we have obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), and discuss the need for Congress to take decisive action.
