F<\/span>ull-body scanners<\/a> that perform what critics call a \u201cvirtual strip search\u201d of airplane passengers are being unveiled at Logan International Airport next week, federal authorities said.<\/p>\n

In all, three scanners will be up and running early next week in Terminal A, according to Transportation Security Administration<\/a> spokeswoman Ann Davis.<\/p>\n

They arrive more than two months after a Nigerian national tried to bring down a Northwest Airlines<\/a> flight<\/a> to Detrit on Christmas Day with a bomb concealed in his underwear.<\/p>\n

The Logan scanners, among 150 being deployed nationwide this year, produce front-and-back images of passengers\u2019 bodies through their clothes.<\/p>\n
