SEATAC, Wash. (AP) — Sea-Tac Airport expects to install five full-body scanners this year.
They are part of the 150 the Transportation Security Administration plans to distribute at the nation’s airports to step up passenger screening.
The full-body scans allow screeners to see through clothing to spot weapons.
Spokeswoman Teri Anne Betancourt told KIRO Radio TSA agents will decide who to scan at airport security checkpoints.
