Description

The TSA is responsible for screening passengers at commercial airports. One method is through the use of Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) to detect a wide range of metallic and non-metallic threats, including weapons and explosives. The general-use BU is a type of AIT that delivers an extremely low dose of ionizing radiation to the person being screened. These BU create an image from very small amounts of x-ray that reflect off the person being screened. This report addresses the strengths and weaknesses of the TSAäó»s use of BU. It is based on interviews with employees and officials of relevant agencies and institutions, direct observations, and a review of applicable documents. Illustrations. This is a print on demand report.
