         Should full body scanners be implemented in airports? This is a very controversial subject and there are many different views. Some people feel that they are a must while others feel it is unconstitutional. In the constitution there is an amendment that states there will be no unnecessary searches or seizures of the American people. But is this unnecessary?

          I believe full body scanners should be implemented to keep the American people safe. I am willing to sacrifice some of my privacy if it means potentially saving my life. Imagine if a terrorist was able to somehow conceal a weapon and board a plane and cause harm to innocent people. If only people had been willing to sacrifice a little privacy others may have lived.  The machines will not show peoples bodies naked only an outline and an x-ray.

         People against full body scanners would argue that this is unconstitutional. They believe that the constitutions states the government cannot search them without reason. I also believe that the government should have a reason to search you but isn't our safety the greatest reason of all?
