Found this great list of airports that are currently free of Naked Body Scanners.

I'm probably going to send my wife and child down to Belize separately from me using one of these airports.  I only hope they don't sneak one in before mid January.

The list is already outdated. We were in DFW three weeks ago and they were setting them up then.

The list does not say that DFW is scanner free.  It says that there are alternatives to DFW that are.

It doesn't look like security for your flight will be any better no matter what you decide.  Sad  You would think anyone with a middle eastern name and pass port would get a little closer attention.  No can't do that.  Huh

Gaping Holes in Airline Security: Loaded Gun Slips Past TSA Screeners
Secret Tests At LAX, O'Hare, Newark Show TSA Screeners Missed Guns, Bombs

Last fall, as he had done hundreds of times, Iranian-American businessman Farid Seif passed through security at a Houston airport and boarded an international flight.

He didn't realize he had forgotten to remove the loaded snub nose "baby" Glock pistol from his computer bag. But TSA officers never noticed as his bag glided along the belt and was x-rayed. When he got to his hotel after the three-hour flight, he was shocked to discover the gun traveled unnoticed from Houston.

"It's just impossible to miss it, you know. I mean, this is not a small gun," Seif told ABC News. "How can you miss it? You cannot miss it."
