Scanner-proof underpants hit the market

A Colorado company is addressing privacy and health concerns about full-body scanners in US airports with an innovative new product.
Rocky Flats Gear is selling 'anti-radiation underwear', reports The Sydney Morning Herald.
The underpants have a fig leaf pattern on the front, which as well as keeping private parts, well, private during a body scan, is also made of fabric that blocks "natural and man-made radiation."
Customers can choose from the 'Patriot' 3 pack of men's boxer shorts, briefs and a 'Velvet Privacy Bra' for women.
The Transport Security Administration (TSA) has insisted that the full-body scan pose no health risks.
"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," TSA chief John Pistole told MSNBC television.
