NOLA Airport Remodel Boasts Seven Naked Scanners

A $1 billion upgrade to the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is nearly complete. Among other things, it sounds like privacy violations have been made more "efficient." Indeed, the introduction of naked scanners in the past decade has led to cramped security screening areas as the existing spaces could not accommodate the new machines. Rest assured that you will be groped and scanned in an airport with a "wide-open feel":

Down the escalators, in the second-floor TSA checkpoint area, are 15 luggage X-ray conveyor belts and seven body scanners. Officials hope the consolidated area will make the security process much smoother than the bottlenecks that were a frequent feature at separate security checkpoints at each concourse in the old terminal.
