Passengers' privacy assured despite high-tech body-image devices. A year after the London rail bombings, the federal government is poised next week to begin a second round of security tests at a Jersey City train station, using state-of-the-art image technology to help detect knives, guns and bombs on passengers. The tests will start at the PATH line's Exchange Place station and run until July 27, subjecting some 15,000 passengers a day to the devices. Some passengers will be asked to walk through a portal similar to an airport metal detector, while others will be screened from a distance by other high-tech machines."
