Full body scanning at airports
A company, Nesch, has developed a system to to body cavity scanners. The system, called diffraction-enhanced X-ray imaging or DEXI, uses diffraction enhanced imaging and multiple image radiography can supposedly “detect substances such as explosive materials … hidden inside or outside of the human body.” The new technique reveal more than conventional X-rays, which makes it useful for both medical and security applications. A normal X-ray shows mainly the skeleton. This technology are capable of producing X-ray images with better image quality, more information and less radiation.
The government has said they will combine the system with the new health reform system. In combination with the scanners at security counters, each checkpoint will also have a dentist and GP doing community service time. The more you fly, the more you save on healthcare. To streamline the new system, the Airports Company of South Africa has already started to do away with domestic and international terminals, making the terminals at OR Tambo Internation multi-use.
Rumour has it that some airlines will introduce seats with stirrups, serving three purposes, contraband, ob-gyn and the mile high club.
