    TSA Whole Body Scanner

    Transportation Security Administration (TSA) undated handout image shows a composite of 4 separate scans, a female in the left two and a male in the right two, from a whole body scan machine, or millimeter wave machine being used at a security check point at the Salt Lake International Airport in Salt Lake City, Utah. The new machine developed by New York based L3 Communications is in use for the first time today by passengers and takes a whole body scan penetrating clothing. This is a pilot program by the TSA to test the machines in a live setting for the first time at Salt Lake International Airport March 10, 2009.

    Airport worker warned in scanner ogling claim
    Wed Mar 24, 2:31 pm ET


    LONDON (Reuters) – A security worker at London's Heathrow Airport has received a police warning and faces disciplinary action over claims he ogled a female colleague using a full-body scanner, officials said on Wednesday.

    The 25-year-old worker made lewd comments after his colleague Jo Margetson, 29, mistakenly strayed into the scanner, which can see through clothes to produce an image of the body, the Sun newspaper reported.

    The case is believed to be the first of its kind since the full-body scanners were rushed into service at a number of British airports in the wake of an attempt by a suspected Muslim extremist to blow up a plane bound for Detroit on December 25.

    They are now being rolled out at airports across the world.

    Details of the incident at Heathrow's Terminal 5 on March 10 emerged on the day lawmakers said concerns that the scanners were intrusive had been overblown.

    Margetson told the Sun she had been "traumatized" by what had happened and had informed police and her bosses at the airport's operator BAA.

    "We treat any allegations of inappropriate behavior or misuse of security equipment very seriously and these claims are being investigated thoroughly," said a spokeswoman for BAA.

    "If found to be substantiated, we will take appropriate action."

    A Metropolitan Police spokesman said officers had been informed of the allegation and "a first instance harassment warning has been issued to a 25-year-old man."

    Opponents of scanners have argued since their introduction that they risked breaching individuals' rights to privacy. Britain's Equality and Human Rights Commission has already said they might be breaking discrimination and privacy laws.

    "For every official caught ogling like this, there are plenty more eyeing up law-abiding travelers," Alex Deane, director of the Big Brother Watch campaign group, told the Sun.

    "These expensive machines are totally disproportionate."

    The government says staff using the machines are properly supervised and would not be able to see the person being scanned. All images are deleted.

    Britain's parliamentary Home Affairs Committee said fears about the scanners were misplaced and they should be introduced at a faster pace to deal with the threat of terrorism.

    "The Committee is satisfied that the privacy concerns that have been expressed in relation to these devices are overstated and ... should not prevent the deployment of scanners," it said in a report.

    Full-body scanner debuts at Omaha airport
    Tue Jun 8, 9:20 am ET


    OMAHA, Neb. – Omaha's Eppley Airfield now has a full-body scanner that will allow security officers to effectively see through a passenger's clothes during screening.

    The Transportation Security Administration demonstrated the new imaging technology Monday, a day before the scanner was to go into use. By mid-June, Eppley is expected to have two of the body-scanning machines that the American Civil Liberties Union has complained can violate a passenger's privacy.

    The TSA has been deploying the technology in an effort to ensure that airports can detect hidden explosives and other weapons. The machines use low-dose x-rays aimed at a passenger's chest and back to create an image showing what's under the passenger's clothing.

    But TSA officials say they have taken precautions to protect passenger privacy. Genital and facial areas are automatically obscured, and passengers have the right to opt out of a full-body scan for a more intense but traditional pat down.

    TSA officials have said the units won't be able to print or store images, and that the officer viewing them won't have direct contact with passengers. The officer viewing the scans remotely will radio an all-clear to another officer standing with the passenger.

    But the ACLU has denounced the new screening machines as a "virtual strip search."

    The new Omaha scanner is one of about 150 that were bought with federal stimulus money. The new machines will join 40 other scanners already in use, and the TSA plans to buy at least 300 more scanners for use at airports nationwide.

    Aside from the modesty factor with this machine, what about the real health issues?
    I just wouldn't want to get in front of a machine like that unless it was for a medical proceedure and my health depended on it. Give me a strip search.

    CBS New York: http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2011/06/...ithout-ticket/

    CBS News has confirmed that authorities are looking into a shocking security breach that took place at John F. Kennedy International Airport last week.

    Investigators say Olajide Oluwaseun Noibi, a Nigerian, boarded Virgin America Flight 415 to Los Angeles without a valid passport or identification, using an expired boarding pass for a flight the day before that belonged to someone else.

    Officials say Noibi got through security and was able to board the plane. No one noticed until the flight was airborne when a flight attendant realized Noibi was sitting in a seat that was supposed to be vacant.

    Rand Paul questions official over airport pat-down of Kentucky girl
    Read more: http://www.kentucky.com/2011/06/23/1...#ixzz1QmSdxskW

    By Halimah Abdullah — Posted: 12:00am on Jun 23, 2011



    WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky, squared off with Transportation Security Administration head John Pistole Wednesday over a controversial pat-down of a 6-year-old Kentucky girl.

    Paul, a strident opponent of what he sees as overreaching homeland security policies, sharply criticized the TSA's random searches of travelers during a Senate hearing.

    Pistole said that although some pat-downs are random, most are based on intelligence. "I guess this little girl would be part of the random pat-downs, this little girl from Bowling Green, Kentucky, one of my constituents," Paul said. "They're still quite unhappy with you guys as well as myself and a lot of other Americans who think you've gone overboard, you're missing the boat on terrorism because you're doing these invasive searches on six-year-old girls."

    Pistole responded that searches help secure the nation's transportation system, but he conceded that agents need to use "common sense." "Unfortunately, the terrorists have used children under 12 years old as suicide bombers in other locations," Pistole said. "I agree with you we need to be smarter in how we go about doing things. We need to use common sense."

    Selena Drexel, the girl's mother, said earlier this year that her daughter Anna was selected for a pat-down when they went through a New Orleans airport. She asked why, but she wasn't given a reason. Drexel said her daughter began to cry after the search and said, "I'm sorry mommy. I don't know what I did wrong."

    Drexel said her daughter has since moved on and is showing no ill effects from the incident. Drexel and her husband uploaded a video of the search on YouTube, where it generated huge interest.

    The Transportation Security Administration said in a statement the officer followed proper procedure but the agency is reviewing its screening policies for "low-risk populations, such as young passengers." The agency is exploring ways to "move beyond a one-size-fits-all system." TSA screeners are instructed to use a "modified" pat-down for children 12 and younger, according to the agency's Web site.

    The same week that Anna Drexel was searched, Paul said he got a call from a neighbor of his in Bowling Green whose little boy had a broken foot and crutches. The family didn't want to go through all of the screenings, so they took the cast off and didn't use crutches. The dad hoped to help the boy hobble through on his broken foot. Paul said TSA agents told the father to back away and made the boy go through the special search anyway because he previously had a cast on — even though the cast was screened with other luggage.

    This incident and others raise questions about whether TSA is too busy conducting searches that violate people's privacy rights to focus on catching terrorists, Paul said.

    TSA denies having required a 95-year-old woman to remove diaper[i]
    June 27, 2011|By the CNN Wire Staff



    Jean Weber says TSA officials forced her 95-year-old mother, pictured here, to remove her adult diaper.The Transportation Security Administration has denied that its agents required a 95-year-old woman to remove her adult diaper last week before allowing her to pass a screening checkpoint at Northwest Florida Regional Airport. "While every person and item must be screened before entering the secure boarding area, TSA works with passengers to resolve security alarms in a respectful and sensitive manner," the agency said Sunday night in a statement. "We have reviewed the circumstances involving this screening and determined that our officers acted professionally, according to proper procedure and did not require this passenger to remove an adult diaper."

    A response released earlier Sunday by the TSA said that the agency had reviewed the circumstances "and determined that our officers acted professionally and according to proper procedure."

    The woman's daughter, Jean Weber, told CNN on Monday that the TSA agents acted professionally and never ordered the removal of her mother's diaper. However, Weber said the agents made it clear that her mother could not board the plane unless they were able to inspect the diaper.

    According to Weber, it was her idea to remove the diaper so it could be inspected and they could make their flight. "They were doing their job according to the instructions of the TSA and their policies," Weber said, later adding that the options offered them were to remove the diaper or "she was not going to get on the plane."

    On Sunday, Weber told CNN that the June 18 incident occurred when she and her mother were traveling from northwest Florida to Michigan, where her mother was planning to move in with other relatives prior to moving into an assisted-living facility. "My mother is very ill, she has a form of leukemia," Weber said Sunday. "She had a blood transfusion the week before, just to bolster up her strength for this travel."

    At a security checkpoint, a TSA officer ushered the wheelchair-bound woman into a glassed-in area where a pat-down was performed, Weber said. Weber said an agent told her "they felt something suspicious on (her mother's) leg and they couldn't determine what it was" -- leading them to take her into a private, closed room.

    Soon after, Weber said, a TSA agent told her that her mother's Depend undergarment was "wet and it was firm, and they couldn't check it thoroughly." But her mother had no clean diapers in her carry-on luggage and the departure time for the plane was approaching, Weber said.

    Nigerian American gets US flight with invalid pass
    By JEFF WILSON , 06.30.11, 11:38 PM EDT

    LOS ANGELES -- A Nigerian American clutching another traveler's expired boarding pass made it through a New York airport federal security checkpoint and boarded a Virgin America jetliner to Los Angeles International Airport, authorities said Thursday. The incident has raised questions about the effectiveness of airport and airline screening procedures.

    Days later, Olajide Oluwaseun Noibi tried to board a Delta flight from Los Angeles to Atlanta with another expired pass and was arrested and charged with being a stowaway aboard an aircraft, the FBI said. He could face up to five years in prison if convicted, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said. Noibi is expected to appear in a Los Angeles federal courtroom on Friday.

    Investigators say Noibi, 24, boarded Virgin America Flight 415 at John F. Kennedy International Airport last Friday night. The flight crew didn't realize an extra passenger was onboard until mid-flight when he was spotted sitting in a seat that was supposed to be empty. In an affidavit, FBI Agent Kevin Hogg said flight attendants asked Noibi for a boarding pass and he presented one that was a day old and had someone else's name on it. He also showed a University of Michigan identification card with his picture on it.

    The crew determined that Noibi's name wasn't on the flight manifest.

    University of Michigan spokeswoman Kelly Cunningham said Noibi is not a current student but was enrolled as an engineering student at the Ann Arbor university between 2004 and 2006.

    Eimiller said Noibi is a U.S. citizen who told investigators he lives in Atlanta.

    The boarding pass used in New York belonged to a man who said his pass went missing from his pocket on his way to the airport on June 23 and was issued a new one at the ticket counter. Noibi is suspected of boarding the plane with the expired pass the next day.

    Identity checks at airport security checkpoints were put in place as one of many new security measures after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The federal document checkers have basic fraudulent identification training. "Every passenger that passes through security checkpoints is subject to many layers of security including thorough physical screening at the checkpoint," Transportation Security Administration spokesman Greg Soule said. "TSA's review of this matter indicates that the passenger went through screening."

    TSA would not comment on what else happened, citing an ongoing FBI investigation.

    Eimiller said the Virgin America flight crew asked law enforcement to meet the plane on arrival early Saturday at Los Angeles International Airport. There was no immediate threat to the aircraft, so the flight wasn't diverted, Eimiller said.

    Virgin America spokeswoman Patricia Condon said the crew kept Noibi - who slept for much of the flight - under surveillance but at no time felt any threat. Hogg met the flight and detained and questioned Noibi. "He wasn't arrested at that time. Beyond traveling without a ticket there was no immediate threat," Eimiller said. She said agents let Noibi go after he cleared a background check, and they spent the next few days gathering evidence to substantiate allegations that he was traveling on a boarding pass that didn't belong to him.

    Noibi spent several days in Southern California before returning to the Los Angeles airport and trying to board an early Wednesday flight on Delta Air Lines bound for Atlanta. The FBI said he again presented an expired boarding pass at the departure gate and had no valid identification. When questioned, Noibi acknowledged he did not pay for the Virgin America flight and explained that he traveled to Los Angeles to recruit people for his software business, the affidavit said.

    He also said he was able to go through security screening Tuesday in Los Angeles by presenting a boarding pass, his student ID and a police report that his U.S. passport had been stolen. However, he spent the night at the gate after not getting on a Tuesday flight to Atlanta. He claims his boarding pass then expired and he was denied access to the Wednesday flight.

    A search of his bag found 10 expired boarding passes, none of them with his name, authorities said. Noibi was then arrested.


    Erroll Southers, a security expert and former top official with the Los Angeles Airport Police Department, said it was too early to determine a motive. However, he said he was troubled that 10 other boarding passes allegedly were found. "I'm not quite sure I buy into the theory that he was just flying for free especially when he has 10 other boarding passes in other names in his possession," Southers said.

    Noibi's actions prove it's possible to breach airport security systems with a flimsy ID and an expired boarding pass, he said.

    Noibi remained in custody.

    Colo. woman accused of groping TSA agent in Ariz.
    AP – 20 hrs ago




    Yukari Mihamae, 61, is seen in this undated booking photo in Phoenix

    PHOENIX (AP) — Authorities say a Colorado woman who allegedly groped a female Transportation Security Administration agent at Phoenix's international airport is facing a felony count of sexual abuse.

    Phoenix police say 61-year-old Yukari Mihamae is accused of grabbing the left breast of the unidentified TSA agent Thursday afternoon at an airport checkpoint. TSA staff say Mihamae refused to be go through passenger screening and became argumentative before she squeezed and twisted the agent's breast with both hands.

    Police were called and say Mihamae admitted grabbing the TSA agent and continued to argue with officers before she was arrested.

    Maricopa County jail officials say Mihamae was released from custody Friday. They couldn't immediately provide any information about her case status.

    Phoenix TV station KSAZ says Mihamae lives in Longmont, Colo., and is self-employed.

    I guess you could call this a case of tit for tat

    --

    So let me get this straight. TSA agents can grope you and its NOT sexual abuse but if you return the favor it is. How confuluted that is.

    ---

    This is SO funny. The TSA lady gropes people all day, then someone gropes back. And they charge ger with sexual assult? Isn't that what the TSA person was doing? So, why hasn't SHE been charged.

    ---

    This would be a jury I would be proud and pleased to serve on:
    "Your Honor, we the jury find that since the TSA can cop a feel, so can the public. Not guilty"

    ---

    Odd...when they do it it's security...when someone else does it it's sexual abuse...

    ---

    That's ridiculous charge for such a minor incident. Simple assault, maybe, but felony sexual abuse? Insanity.

    Woman accused of groping TSA agent getting support
    AP – 6 hrs ago

    DENVER (AP) — A Colorado woman accused of groping a female Transportation Security Administration agent in Phoenix is getting some support from people unhappy about airport security procedures.

    A Facebook page supporting Yukari Miyamae had more than 900 backers Monday afternoon, with some praising her for her bravery and others offering to donate money to her defense. Others defended the TSA's screening procedures, saying that people who don't want to comply with security requirements shouldn't fly.

    Police said Miyamae, 61, is accused of grabbing the left breast of an unidentified agent Thursday afternoon after the TSA said she refused to go through passenger screening. She was arrested on suspicion of sexual abuse, which is a felony, but no charges have been filed.

    Maricopa County Judicial Commissioner Miles Nelson released Miyamae on her own recognizance during a court appearance Friday. A preliminary hearing in her case was scheduled for Aug. 4.

    Nelson said Miyamae could return home to Longmont, Colo., and could use airports to travel back to Arizona as part of her work as a translator.

    "I am commuting from Colorado to Phoenix every week for the job I am currently working," Miyamae told Nelson.

    Miyamae and the TSA didn't return calls from The Associated Press on Monday.
