'Naked' scanner in manchester

[johnny_mac]

have you read this? this is a test going on in manchester airport.
"A trial of a scanner that produces "naked" images of passengers...will speed up security checks by quickly revealing any concealed weapons or explosives...the full body scans will also show up breast enlargements, body piercings"

You could do with losing a bit of weight.

We were talking about this in physics.
It seems a bit...pervy, as it gives a clear out line of about everything.
You can have a pat down instead though, but where does privacy come into any of this??

..are they going to be using it on kids aswell? Because that is just sick

I think sooo.
Although tbh I'd wayyyy prefer this than a pat down or strip search.

[AThiefAWhoreAndALiar]

I think i read that the images aren't stored, one person looks at them, and then they are gotten rid of.

Not to mention, i reckon this is slightly better than a grown man/woman having to pat down a small child, especially in this day and age of parents thinking everyones a paedo

[notanotherusername!]

heh i've had a pat down lol. There was a really hot guy but cos i'm a girl i had to go to the scary woman bad times.

I think its alright, its not like they are keeping them.

[piecesofme]

Ha ha I'm flying from Manc at the end of the month and I'll definatly give it a go! They get rid of the image afterwards and there hardley going to be perving over them...and if someone is oh well!

[johnny_mac]

LOL. maybe I can request for a copy? remembrance' sake

Whys it sick? Its for security FFS..... shame what this world has come to when everything sick and peaodephillia (sp?)... if someone was saving pictures and distributing them as child porn then thats sick... but seeing a baby / kid naked is not sick anyway... nevermind as an x-ray for security purposes.

GF knows a guy who won't even get into the bath with his kid (under 1 yr old) because he's scared of what people might think with all the shit that goes on now-a-days.... sad sad sad world we live in!

because they'd need a really massive amount of storage for all those images and someone would realise if they had provisioned that amount of storage for something recently.

Why? It's just a glorified x-ray for a business purpose.

Do you think your doctor is sick if they arrange an x-ray to check for broken bones? I hope not.

Fuss over nothing tbh.

I think the thing that bothers me most about it is the remote viewing. I think I'd rather strip off in the airport - at least I'd know who was looking at me.

[fish94]

I know what i'd use it for
Nah, just kidding. I don't really see the big deal, you have the right to turn it down in exchange for a standard search anyway. It's used for safety purposes only, and when you think about it, how many pedophiles tend to work in airports?
