Alaska lawmakers takes out ads telling travelers they can opt out of TSA's ...
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A state representative is spending more than $2,000 in leftover campaign money to tell Alaskans they can avoid airport body scanners if the devices make them uncomfortable.
The ads featuring Rep. Chris Tuck, D-Anchorage, say travelers can opt for pat-downs instead of body scans and can call state airport police if that alternative is too aggressive.
A spokeswoman for the Transportation Security Administration told the Anchorage Daily News ( http://bit.ly/vDbGnG ) that Tuck is not putting out accurate information. The agency installed body scanners in Anchorage and Fairbanks this month, said Lorie Dankers, but images of individual travelers are neither recorded nor stored.
"The technology does not take a picture; it's bouncing electromagnetic waves off the body ... there is no image to store," she said.
The advertisement first appeared Sunday. Tuck said air time cost $2,060 and was paid from an account that legislators are allowed to put surplus campaign cash after winning an election.
