The first Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) scanner at JFK airport is shown by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano (r.)Airline passengers might want to consider a trip to the gym before heading to the airport now that high-tech body scanners have been unveiled at Kennedy Airport.
第一部高級成像技術（AIT）掃描儀在肯尼迪機場亮相，由國土安全部部長納波利塔諾（r.）揭幕，現在航空公司的乘客可能要考慮先去健身房然後才前往機場，那高科技身體掃描儀已經在肯尼迪機場推出。
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano yesterday hailed them as an important breakthrough for airport security and the fight against terrorism.
國土安全部部長納波利塔諾昨天歡呼它們，作為機場保安和打擊恐怖主義的一個重要突破。
Yet when it came to testing the devices – which produce chalky, naked X-ray images of passengers – she turned the floor over to some brave volunteers.
然而當它來到測試裝置的時侯 - 它生產出乘客的堊白、全身赤裸的X射線圖像 - 她轉倒地板給一些勇敢的志願者。
“These machines represent an important way to stay ahead of the ever-evolving threat that faces the aviation industry,” Napolitano said.
About 300 of the Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) machines are operational already at 62 airports across the country, and 450 will be in place by the end of the year, officials said.
約 300部高級成像技術（AIT）機器已在運作，在全國的62個機場 和450部將在年底到位，官員說。
JFK will have a “substantial” number, but officials would not reveal the exact figure.
Machines will be installed at Newark and LaGuardia airports within weeks.
The machines work by projecting low-level X-ray beams at the passenger’s body to produce an image.
Any nonmetal objects hidden on the passenger’s body that wouldn’t be detected by the old-style scanners are easily spotted.
Going through one is optional for all travelers, but Napolitano hoped to ease any fears that airport staff would use them to leer at passengers.
“Those who read the images are not actually physically at the gate, so they cannot associate an image with an individual person at all,” she said.
“And the machines are set so that no image is retained.”
