According to The Hill a lawsuit argued the agency failed to follow rulemaking procedures on the devices before deploying them.
A federal judge ordered the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) on Friday to quickly finalize a rulemaking procedure for the controversial full-body scanners it uses at airport security checkpoints across the country.
The agency was sued by the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) over the controversial devices in a lawsuit that argued that the TSA did not follow federal procedure for rulemaking when it decided to deploy the scanners, which are known as Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) devices.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled in favor of the plaintiffs on Friday, ordering the TSA to "submit to the court a schedule for the expeditious issuance of a final rule" on the full-body scanners within 30 days.

Rule for full body scanner: "We will select whoever we want, between none and all potential passengers, and we will scan the selected people as many times as we want. At our discretion, the people may be required to disrobe partially or fully until we are satisfied we have an excellent quality nude picture of them."
