KANSAS CITY, Mo. –

Your next trip to Kansas City International Airport may include body imaging scanners.

KMBC confirmed that the scanners will be coming to Kansas City.

The scanners allow security to see beneath your clothing in order to stop someone from smuggling weapons, explosives or drugs. They are being used in limited areas now but are becoming more common at airports worldwide.

However, the images are fairly revealing, and that is raising issues of privacy, KMBC's Martin Augustine reported.

Many passengers told KMBC that they're willing to risk the scanners if it helps to increase security.

"Anything you can do to make things safer is definitely the way to go," one passenger said.

"If it keeps everyone safe, keeps the terrorists off the planes, that's what we have to do," another passenger said.

Experts said body imaging scanners would have prevented a man from smuggling explosives inside his clothes on Christmas.
