Supreme Court won't hear body-scanner appeal
By William Spain

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear a case that is attempting to challenge the use of full body scanners at airport security checkpoints, the Associated Press reports. Jonathan Corbett challenged the Transportation Security Administration's use of the devices, along with enhanced pat downs, but federal courts in Florida refused to hear the suit. Corbett then filed an appeal in U.S. Circuit Court, which upheld the lower court's dismissal. The advanced imaging technology has been online since October 2010, the wire service noted.
