If you notice on the floor, you'll see there's a circle. You have to spin around to get an image. Airports aren't like that.

The L3 system I linked to IS the one that TSA is using. So the Marshalls were using different equipment, from a completely different brand? How is that applicable to the TSA then?
What I don't get though is why the TSA insists on using the machines that display nude images instead of the ones with automatic threat detection:

Ignoring the radiation issue, I would have less qualms about going through the one that doesn't let someone look at my junk.
