Full body scanner privacy impact assessment (revised) .: CC405-4/2017E-PDF
“This is a summary of the Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) completed by the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) for the Full Body Scanner (FBS) Primary. FBS detect both metallic and non-metallic threats, providing a more complete security screening than Walk-Through Metal Detectors (WTMDs). Currently, FBS units are used for secondary screening. In order to more fully utilize these important tools for the protection of Canadian air travelers, CATSA is testing a change to current screening process which will use FBS units in the primary screening position at certain checkpoints, where they will used instead of a WTMD. FBS use remains voluntary. All individuals assigned to a line using FBS Primary will have the option of a physical search of person instead of FBS. Any individual who cannot participate in FBS Primary screening (for reasons of physical incapability of assuming the arms-lifted position necessary for the scanning, or due to insufficient height) will be screened with the WTMD"--Executive summary, p. 1.
