I was wondering that as well. Usually if you set off the metal detector, they will use that wand on you to check you for metal objects. As far as I remember, if you get randomly selected to do a more thorough inspection, you can choose to be patted down, or do this body scanner, but that's usually after you've walked through the metal detector.

You beat me to it. I thought the scanners took a 360 degree picture of you though.. that's why the sensors circle around you.

EDIT: I see there's another kind of scanner being used which just takes a picture from the front and back. I haven't seen these before:
