If you are receiving PATH Alerts, you probably know that starting today, PATH together with Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will be conducting security screening to detect and prevent threats such as bombs.

This will go on for one month.

So for those using the PATH going to NYC, good luck covering your privates!

Passive Millimeter Wave Technology
Various PATH Stations
June 10 – July 10, 2009

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration, in cooperation with PATH, a subsidiary of The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, will test passive millimeter wave passenger screening technology that detects threats, including explosive devices.

Passive millimeter wave technology does not emit radiation of any kind. It is safe and poses no risk to passengers.

All passengers entering a PATH station where screening is taking place are subject to the security screening. Passengers who do not wish to be subject to such screening, must exit at that station.
