Islamic scholars have forbidden Muslim travelers from passing through full body scans at airports, because they violate religious rules of nudity.
The Figh Council of North America issued a fatwa -- that is, a religious ruling -- on February 11, 2010 warning Muslims not to go through the scanners, according to the Newsvine website.
"It is a violation of clear Islamic teachings that men or women be seen naked by other men and women," read the order.
In the U.S., there are now 40 scanners in 19 airports, and there could be as many as 450 by the end of the year.
