Full Body Scans : A Brief History

.
Full Body Scans have figured in popular projection for a long time.
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Genesis 3 : 6-7
King James Bible

Recently there's been a kerfuffle over the proposed introduction of full body security scans at Australian airports.
