Janet Napolitano unveils naked body scanners at JFK

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to New York City area travelers: We'll be seeing you!

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is shown above pointing out the virtues of the new naked body scanners at JFK airport. She did not volunteer for a scan.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano hailed the scanners as an important breakthrough for airport security and the fight against terrorism.

Yet when it came to testing the devices, which produce naked X-ray images of passengers, she turned the floor over to some brave volunteers.

Was her reluctance to volunteer because she didn't want her colleagues working the monitors to see a side of her she doesn't really feel comfortable sharing?

She wouldn't be the first government employee to be mocked for something shown on the revealing images.
