Airport `Naked Image' Scanners May Get Privacy Upgrades Holli Powell, a Phoenix medical- software consultant who flies every week, says she avoids getting into airport security lines that end at what she calls a humiliating full-body scanner.
“Those scanners, I feel, are above and beyond,” Powell, 35, said in an interview. They generate “nearly naked images.”
The concerns of travelers such as Powell, which led privacy advocates to sue the government, may soon be eased. L-3 Communications Holdings Inc. and OSI Systems Inc.’s Rapiscan, makers of the scanners for U.S. airports, are delivering software upgrades that show a generic figure rather than an actual image of a passenger’s body parts. The new display would mark sections of a person’s body that need to be checked. (Bloomberg)
Airport Body Scanning Raises Radiation Exposure, Committee Says Air passengers should be made aware of the health risks of airport body screenings and governments must explain any decision to expose the public to higher levels of cancer-causing radiation, an inter-agency report said. (Bloomberg)
Investors have been quick to spot a rapid profit. One Californian firm specialising in imaging machines, Rapiscan, has seen its shares in its parent company, OSI Systems, leap by 27% since Christmas. American Science and Engineering, is up by 16% and has deployed its chief executive to have his own body scanned on live television. (London Guardian)
The Anti-Terror Portfolio (ASEI, OSIS, FLIR, ICXT, HXL, AIR, ORB) Following the attempted bombing of Northwest Flight 253 on Christmas Day, various counterterrorism initiatives are in talks from Washington to Wall Street. We already covered the potential impact airport delays could have on airline stocks, but there are some companies that could benefit from increased demand amid tightened homeland security.

Stimulus to bring body scanners to airports The U.S. government is using $25 million in stimulus money to buy and install full body scanners in airports this year, in an effort to ramp up security and create jobs. (CNN)
Airports face mounting pressure to introduce hi-tech scanners The Home Secretary, Alan Johnson, has suggested that Britain should be prepared to place the scanners at all of its airports. But after a four-year trial of the machines at Heathrow between April 2004 and July 2008, the airport decided not to install the machines. (The Independent)
Obama could expedite full body scans in U.S. Investors bid up the stocks of imaging companies like American Science and Engineering, OSI Systems, and ICx Technologies Inc between 10 percent and 26 percent on Monday and Tuesday, the first two trading days after the incident. (National Post)
Detroit scare sparks debate on full-body scanners Technology exists that might have detected explosives hidden in the underwear of a Nigerian man accused of trying to blow up a plane over Detroit, but cost and privacy worries have until now prevented its widespread use. (Reuters)
Heightened Airport Security Is Lifting Many Companies Many companies could benefit from any requirement that airports get more security equipment. While Lockheed Martin (LMT), Northrop Grumman (NOC), Raytheon (RTN) and General Dynamics (GD) also operate in the market, passenger-screening devices make up a small fraction of their revenues, according to analysts, and will more orders won't have a great impact on them. But several smaller companies are worth watching: OSI Systems, ICx Technologies, L-3 Communications, American Science and Engineering, L-1 Identity Solutions, Analogic (Daily Finance)
Technology promises to improve airport screening process The technology has been available for many months, but privacy concerns have held up its deployment. Rapiscan Systems, a division of OSI Systems Inc, and American Science & Engineering Inc, have worked to develop proxy images that mask private parts. Pilot testing on these machines, which cost $70,000 to $100,000, should begin in early spring. (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
Covert X-rays tested as security tool Department of Homeland Security spokesman Donald W.
