United States First Circuit

Judgment dismissing an action challenging the constitutionality of the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) use of Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) body scanners and enhanced pat-downs as primary methods of passenger screening at U.S. airports is affirmed, is vacated and remanded, where: 1) the AIT scanners currently deployed at passenger screening checkpoints are no longer generating the revealing images of passengers' bodies that spawned this lawsuit, and are instead displaying a generic outline of a person for all passengers; and as such, 2) the claims have become moot.
