Ever since the Attack on 9/11, America as a whole has taken steps to further protect herself and her people. We have all taken extra precautions to ensure that we as a nation would never be put in such terrible circumstances ever again. From states getting new identification requirements to airports boosting security, America has ensured that we would never once again be taken by surprise. One major step in protecting our country starts in the airports; after all, maybe if our airport's security would have been more alert and had better scanning equipment, the attacks on 9/11 could have been prevented. Now, with TSA taking extra procedures to make sure everything runs smoothly and changing the rules on what can and cannot be traveled with, we as travelers and non-travelers alike can have more peace of mind. But what happens when the new practices and equipment that were made to protect us, begin to be intrusive and ethically questionable? In this paper, I will be discussing Body Scanners and why they have been a popular topic of discussion ever since they were put into effect. Why they have been a major step in keeping us safe, but many people still argue the fact that they violate our privacy and are ethically wrong.
