A scanner which produces "naked" images of passengers has started a trial at Manchester Airport.

The authorities say it will speed up security checks by quickly revealing any concealed weapons or explosives.

But the full body scans will also show up breast enlargements, body piercings and a clear black-and-white outline of passengers' genitals.

The airport has stressed that the images are not pornographic and will be destroyed straight away.

Sarah Barrett, head of customer experience at the airport, said most passengers did not like the traditional "pat down" search.

At Manchester Airport's Terminal 2, where the machine has been introduced, passengers will no longer have to remove their coats, shoes and belts as they go through security checks.

Ms Barrett said: "This scanner completely takes away the hassle of needing to undress."

Ms Barrett said the black-and-white image would only be seen by one officer in a remote location before it was deleted.

"The images are not erotic or pornographic and they cannot be stored or captured in any way," she said.

Passengers could refuse to be scanned, she added.

Anyone want to guess which airport I'm flying out of to go to Tampa?

Yeah, they had those in popular mechanics in like 2002... Welcome to the future.

They've also been on the messican border for years.

I'm refusing, kthx.

 

[ZRH]

They'll pat you down. Fite the powar

 

[Dory Berkowitz-Bukowski]

They don't pat you down if you don't beep. And I went through the airport scanner last time without setting anything off.

 

[APRIL]

NME rather have the rub down.

The point is, it's an airport. What were you expecting? Guarantee of privacy?

FULL BODY CAVITY SEARCH!

 

[Dory Berkowitz-Bukowski]

Shall we have a wager on me getting a full strip search on entry into your delightful country? I'm about 80% sure I will be.

We've had those in Tampa for well over a year now.

 

[Dory Berkowitz-Bukowski]

Groce.

The image comes up a screen in a backroom. The image is not stored at all and cannot be printed.

Well you can see more of an outline. Google search some images.

 

[Dory Berkowitz-Bukowski]

You can't see under the swim suit?

 

[Floptical]

Here you don't have to do them. If you have to go through the line and refuse to you can still do the old fashioned pat down. Hell a lot of people have probably gone through these things already and had no idea.

Yeah, that's what they say. Do you know often our government 'misplaces' information on thousands if not millions of UK citizens?

Ours are just the monitor hooked to the device. It has nothing to store it on.
