This month, the TSA began requiring passengers at some airports to either undergo a full electronic body scan, or submit to a pat-down as a condition of boarding. What do you think about the new security protocol?

Host: Michael Krasny

Guests:

  • Joe Sharkey, business travel columnist for The New York Times

While the procedure has generated protests and concerns about scanner safety and the invasiveness of the pat-downs, polls indicate many travelers are OK with the new procedures.
