This is correct. Both B and C now have the body scanners. I've been using the terminal D checkpoint exclusively since they installed them, and I've never had a problem. In fact, the signage next to the D checkpoint specifically says that it's a checkpoint with access to all gates.
As a side note, the last time I flew out of PHL, my flight was actually out of terminal A, and giving the checkpoints some cursory glances as I walked by, I didn't see any body scanners, but I haven't been through any of the terminal A checkpoints in a long, long time, so I can't say with 100% confidence. Stick with terminal D; it's clear as of a couple of weekends ago (and the line moves pretty quickly, too!). Just give yourself some time to walk wherever; it took me a good 20 minutes+ to make it to the far side of the A terminal.
