Apparently the message was heard loud and clear.
X-ray machines at airports have caused so much controversy among travelers, they are now being removed from major airports.
The website, Pro-Publica says those x-ray body scanners are being removed from high-traffic airports like Los Angeles, Dallas, New York's JFK and Chicago's O'Hare.
The TSA is replacing them with newer machines that display a generic drawing of a person's body. The old scanners will be moved to smaller airports.
X-ray body scanners got a bad rap from travelers over privacy because the x-ray images could be revealing.
