Full-body scanning may now be mandatory on your next flight

Operating regulations of the Transportation Security Administration (TPA) have recently been updated by the US government giving way to mandatory full-body scans if deemed necessary.

Although full-body scanners have been present across United States airports for some time, until now, travelers were allowed to opt out of the scanning machine in favor of physical screening reports online technology source Slashgear. In certain cases, screening officials will now have the right to insist on machine scanning for some travelers.

Controversy around former body scans which displayed a nude image of the passenger led to the installment of scans that now replace the passenger's body with a generic figure.
