full body scanner
Airport screening device
A full body scanner is a security device that creates an image of a person's entire body to detect concealed objects.
Used primarily at airports, these machines employ millimeter waves or X-rays to see through clothing without physical contact: I had to step into the full body scanner at the checkpoint.
Privacy concerns have led to software that displays only generic outlines rather than detailed anatomical images.
