D.C. Court Scolds TSA for Ignoring Its Ruling
4th August 2012
After more than a year of applying body-scanning technology without government oversight, the TSA may have to establish some formal rules and procedures for using the machines.
The infamous full-body scanners are used at 19 airports across the country. In 2010 the Electronic Privacy Information Center filed a lawsuit challenging the legitimacy of body scanners. The Court of Appeals in the D.C. Circuit ruled the following year that the TSA needed to create some comprehensive rules for body scanner use. And of course the TSA promptly ignored it.
