New X-Ray Screening At Airports

A new X-Ray screening device that clearly exposes aliens hiding in human bodies is being tried at the Phoenix airport. This technology will clearly protect us from the alien menace as you can surely see in this photo provided by the creators of this alien exposing technology. I wonder what planet these particular aliens are from?

The Phoenix airport started testing the new technology on Friday. It can see through people's clothes and show the body's contours with blush-inducing clarity.

Critics have said the high-resolution images created by the "backscatter" technology are too invasive. But the Transportation Security Administration adjusted the equipment to make the image look something like a line drawing, while still detecting concealed weapons.

During testing, the machine will be used only as a backup screening measure. Passengers who fail the standard screening with a metal detector will be able to choose between the new device or a pat-down search.
