A full-body scanner is a device that detects objects on or inside a person's body for security screening purposes, without physically removing clothes or making physical contact. Unlike metal detectors, full-body scanners can detect non-metal objects, which became an increasing concern after various airliner bombing attempts in the 2000s.
Radiation safety authorities including the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements, The Health Physics Society and the American College of Radiology, have stated that there is no specific evidence that full-body scans are unsafe.

I went through a full body scan a few weeks ago at SFO on my way to HKG...it was easy. Stand on the printed foot prints, raise your arms, wait for the TSA agent to wave you on. I never saw who was looking at the scan, they were in a room far away from the security area. This is much faster then a pat down and much more private.

On the issue of body scans vs. pat-downs -- I would prefer the body scan theoretically, but if my belongings were to be out of sight -- the pat-down in public would be totally fine. We all have the same parts and I really don't care.
