美國科羅拉多州一家公司近日推出一款防輻射內衣，能夠幫助人們在接受機場全身掃描安檢時遮蔽身體隱私部位。據介紹，這款內衣在隱私部位額外添加了一個無花果葉狀的墊層，這個墊層由特殊材料制成，能夠阻止自然及人工輻射。該公司表示，這種新型內衣可以阻止任何類型的有害輻射，更重要的是，它能幫助人們在接受全身掃描時保護隱私部位。

The undies, sold by Colorado company Rocky Flats Gear, feature cute fig leaf patterns over the sensitive area, with the leaves made out of material promising to "block natural and man-made radiation."

Airline passengers worried about new security scanners filming their privates now have a way out: anti-radiation underwear.

The undies, sold by Colorado company Rocky Flats Gear, feature cute fig leaf patterns over the sensitive area, with the leaves made out of material promising to "block natural and man-made radiation."

That would stop harmful rays of any kind, but more to the point, the technology "insures privacy of medical and body scanner images," company website www.rockyflatsgear.com says.

There's something for everyone in this sci-fi top drawer, ranging from the Patriot 3 Pack of men's boxer shorts to skimpier briefs and, for women, the Velvet Privacy Bra.

The Transportation Security Administration has come under growing pressure over new scanners that show the naked contours of passengers. Passengers refusing to submit to the scan face a detailed manual search, likened by opponents to sexual groping.

A man filmed confronting airport staff in mid-November and telling an official to keep his hands off "my junk" -- slang for genitals -- has become a YouTube folk hero.

TSA chief John Pistole insists that there is no danger from radiation in the scans and that intensive searches are necessary to prevent increasingly imaginative bombers from boarding planes.

"We want to work with industry to make sure we have the safest machines available. That is the bottom line. They are safe for everyday use," he told MSNBC television.
