Female Passengers Say They Were Targeted for TSA Body Scanners
http://j.mp/wzmapo (Wired)
"TSA agents in Dallas singled out female passengers to undergo
screening in a body scanner, according to complaints filed by several
women who said they felt the screeners intentionally targeted them to
view their bodies. One woman who flew out of Dallas-Ft. Worth
International Airport several months ago said a female agent sent her
through a body scanner three times after the agent commented on her
"cute" body."

Note TSA only addressed millimeter wave tech, not the backscatter
x-ray units.
