Passengers arriving for a flight out of Paris’ Charles de Gaulle airport should get ready for a new security procedure – full-body scanners have arrived in the “City of Light.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Like most other international hubs, Paris decided to install the controversial machines in light of the Christmas Day terrorist attempt aboard a Detroit bound flight arriving from Amsterdam.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The scanners are equipped to check for any objects hidden underneath clothing, however the machines are not perfect and still will not be able to pick up certain chemicals yet.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The debate over the use of full-body scanners is a hot topic among travelers with one side saying it will make flying safer while others fear the machines expose passengers to radiation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Inventors of the pricey machines (roughly $40,000 each) state that they are not harmful to customers and there is no need to worry.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What do you think of full-body scanners arriving at your local airport? Will you use them or opt out for a full pat-down by a TSA agent?<\/p>\n
