Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport to Debut Full Body Scanners

Posted: Friday December 16, 2011

The Savannah / Hilton Head International Airport has announced it is receiving new, state-of-the-art full body scanners to aid with security measures in 2012. These millimeter wave Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) units will have new software that officials said will enhance privacy by eliminating passenger-specific images and streamlining the checkpoint screening process.

To preserve privacy, every human “image” will look exactly the same, as the machines scan only for metal. In addition, the scanners are exceptionally safe as the energy emitted is 1000 times less than the international limits and guidelines. Congratulations to the Savannah / Hilton Head International Airport on being chosen as one of 16 airports in the nation to debut this new technology!
