Sky Guy - thanks for the update. TSA's website says 2007. I should have checked an alternate source. However, read the last paragraph of your linked article. At the time the first 150 scanners purchased with the stimulus $, there were already 40 in place at 19 airports.
And the main opposers were the ACLU...I stand by politically motivated.
By the way - off to catch a flight in a couple of hours - I'll let you know if the pat down was good for me....
