Find Out if Body Scanners are Being Used at Your Airport

While a lot of the media attention about body scanners has decreased from its Thanksgiving-week peak, it's still an issue for some travelers. Personally, I really don't mind the body scan as long as it helps airport security. Some of the moves that the TSA has taken to protect passengers' privacy, such as the ability of the images to not be saved, also makes me feel more comfortable.

But, there are some travelers who really don't like the body scanners. If you're one of those travelers, then you might be interested in new website called "TSA Status." Here you'll find each airport's color-coded status about body scanner usage. The scale is a total ripoff of the Homeland Security, ranging from "Low" for no body scanners to "Extreme" for body scanners for all.

Of course, these are individual reports from travelers that could go out of date - so your experiences could vary. But this website should give everyone a good idea of what's going on across the country.
