yeah But, ....

While TSA will pull all of the current Rapiscan "backscatter" scanners out of operation by June 1 due to a
congressional mandate that all TSA scanners have privacy filter software by then, TSA has NOT made a
decision to permanently stop using backscatter scanners.

In fact, TSA has a contract with another company, American Science and Engineering Inc, to develop
a "next generation" backscatter machine with privacy filter software. TSA also has contracts with L-3,
which manufactures the millimeter-wave scanners currently in use, and Smiths Group to develop
"next generation" millimeter-wave scanners.

Also, TSA says the 174 backscatter scanners that are being pulled from airports as well 76 additional
backscatter scanners currently in storage will likely go to another federal agency for use elsewhere
(not in airports).
