Wide use of U.S. airport body scanners depends on Obama
How quickly the rollout of whole-body scanners at U.S. airports depends on Barack Obama.
U.S. President Barack Obama could expedite such a deployment because the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) don’t need legislation from Congress to start using the devices at any of the 560 U.S. airports with scheduled airline service.
Current use is limited to a 19 airports and is optional — passengers can choose to undergo a pat-down instead.
Airlines struggle anew with flier frustrations
Airlines that survived the 2001 terrorist attacks, soaring fuel prices, and a rough economy now have to put up with a new frustration.

They acknowledge that the procedures have to be unpredictable to be effective. But they also say that the unpredictability could push travelers to avoid airports at all costs.
