Psssst. Want to see Susan Hallowell naked? Look at the Feb. 24
New York Times. She's on Page A10.
Hallowell runs the Transportation Security Administration's
research lab. Four years ago, she volunteered to be scanned by a backscatter X-ray machine, which sees through clothing. She was wearing a skirt and blazer. But in the
picture, she's as good as nude.
Now it's your turn.
