From the Constitution

Fourth Amendment: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Connecting to the Constitution

Are full body scans unconstitutional? The fourth amendment gives people the right to secure themselves from unreasonable searches. Are full body scans unreasonable searches or are they to ensure safety? Full body scans are devices that insure that no passengers have anything to harm anyone else. They are starting to be used in airports throught. One of the first ones were right he in Illinios.

Full body scans are used at O'Hare Airport. Some have no problem with it, while others think it is a hassle. Personally I don't think there is anything wrong with it. The scans are to ensure everyone's safety, and it's not like it hurts or harms the person being scanned in any way. The photo's are said to be earased upon exit of the machine, there is no way anyone could see it besides the machine operator.
