The Body scanner, Alfa 3, will improve many things in any airport. It will decrease wait in line, and will make the process easier. I think this is interesting because I have been in many airport lines and have to wait about 15 to 20 minutes. The process now is you wait in line, and when your turn comes up, you take off all personal belongings and put them in a separate scanner. Next, you go through a human scanner and if you are an adult you have to get your whole body scanned, front, side, and back. These machines scan you with harmful ex-rays that can cause you to get cancer if you take in too much radiation. The reason they have so much security is so no terrorists bomb or harm people on the plane. The NEW technology of the Alfa 3, is that multiple people can walk through a large scanner at the same time, this decreases the amount of time you have to wait in line. This scanner does NOT give off as much radiation if any compared to what airports have now. How this large simple machine works is, you walk by it and say you have an illegal weapon or something as simple a scissors, the alarm sounds, because it senses a different temperature on your body and the computer shows a picture of a person and what they have and where so security can identify what where to look on the person with the weapon.
