Full-body scanners pulled from airports get use in prisons - Los Angeles Times

Full-body scanners pulled from airports get use in prisons - Los Angeles Times:

"But the scanners — which cost between $130,000 and $170,000 each — have not gone to waste.
Most have been shipped to jails, prisons and state and local government agencies.
The TSA reported that 154 of the scanners were recently transferred to law enforcement agencies in Arkansas, New York, Michigan and other places, with 96 others remaining at the manufacturer’s warehouse.
Several law enforcement agencies paid only a fraction of the original cost under a federal surplus program."
