Senator Collins Introduces Bill to Help Protect the Health of Air Travelers

Senator Susan Collins, ranking Republican on the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and a bipartisan group of her colleagues introduced legislation to require an independent study of backscatter x-ray scanners and to require signs to alert travelers they have screening alternatives other than the backscatter machines. Senators Daniel Akaka (D-Hawaii), Carl Levin (D-Mich.), Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), and Scott Brown (R-Mass.) -- all members of the Committee -- joined Senator Collins as cosponsors of the legislation.
