Full-body scanners come to Vancouver


Full-body scanners are now in-use at YVR (Vancouver International Airport).  Two of the controversial machines, interestingly highlighted in the US budget announced today, are being used at security screening points for passengers headed to the United States.

Not everyone will actually pass through the scanners. Passengers are selected for secondary screening, either randomly or for a cause.  The passenger then has the choice between a physical search or the full-body scanner.  The scanners are used in closed-off rooms so other passengers can't see the scanner's screen.
I will soon be passing through the airport; got to work on the abs a bit but will certainly have no difficulty going through a scanner.  One thought that comes to mind; "cause" meaning what?  I might consider an attractive lady suitable "cause" to send her through a scanner.  I wonder how those determining cause will do; the story will break in due time I am sure!
