Tulsa airport to get whole body scanner!

Wow!  Tulsa's airport will receive a whole body imaging scanner along with other much bigger airports like Chicago O'Hare, San Francisco and Boston Logan International.  Boy, that ought to tell you something.  Currently, only10 airports have the scanner:

Executives at the Transportation Security Administration said this week that Tulsa will be one of 14 airports receiving millimeter-wave technology machines before the end of the year.

...Millimeter-wave technology, also known as whole-body imaging, is controversial among privacy advocates and civil libertarians because the radio frequency energy reflected back from the passenger creates a three-dimensional image of the traveler's body displayed on a TSA monitor.

...During the remainder of the year, TSA also will deploy millimeter-wave machines at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport, Atlanta Hartsfield International, Boston Logan International, Indianapolis International, New York's LaGuardia, Tampa-St. Petersburg International, Puerto Rico's San Juan International, San Francisco International, Buffalo International, Chicago O'Hare International, Raleigh-Durham, Richmond International and Jacksonville International.
