Full body scanners coming to Reno airport
By Ray Hagar, Reno Gazette-Journal
Reno-Tahoe International Airport is one of 28 national airports scheduled to receive full-body security scanning machines from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security this summer, according to a list released by the Transportation Security Administration.
Reno airport executives will request that the instillation of the scanners — that can see objects hidden under clothing — be postponed until the development of new technology that makes the scanners smaller and less invasive, airport spokesman Brian Kulpin said.
