Scanner 1000

The makers of Scanner 1000 advertise this image on the world wide web. It shows what the guards see when they scan suspects. This scanner is used at least 4 times (front view, back view and two side views) on all visitors to CCWF, including all women of child-bearing age and even the youngest children. In our experience, male guards have access to scans of all visitors, some visibly leering at the images they see. According to health care professionals, there is no such thing as "safe" levels of exposure. They use this scanner to merely humiliate people. It has to go!
