Yeah this won't go down well when staff start stealing images, I can see it happening.

The Dread Pirate · 13 Oct 2009 at 10:23

I can see perverts the world over rejoicing!

So what happens when children need to board a plane?

Morgoth · 13 Oct 2009 at 10:25

I assume the officer that is watching the people go through gets charged with looking at indecent images when a person under the age of 18 goes through the scanner?

Fap fap fap!

I hope this is scrapped for whi....t....e.......i mean everyone.

J/k.

This will definately be scrapped. Pedo's will start working at Airport Security, stealing the images and saving them to share on the internet.

And what will happen if a muslim person, refuses the scan, that will just cause a explosion, guns points etc.

My thought exactly.

Hmmm, this will either work really well or go horribly wrong.

They've already been trialled on Heathrow Express and in a few US airports. I thought Qinetiq were making them though :confused:

PhillyDee · 13 Oct 2009 at 10:33

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

How naaive, have they bveen on the internet recently?

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

They have already started outsourcing this to india?

Greebo · 13 Oct 2009 at 10:34

I know the images get deleted but how does this stack up with children?

I fear you're not joking.

Question is; would you feel safer knowing everyone had been scanned that way ?
Following the use of explosives inside a bomber, I would feel safer knowing everyone had.

wormwood · 13 Oct 2009 at 10:36

Looks fine to me and if it speeds up the security process then even better.

[TW]Fox · 13 Oct 2009 at 10:39

I'm really not sure what the problem is, even with kids.

Everyone has genitals. Who cares?

Then why are the measures necessary?

mame · 13 Oct 2009 at 10:45

I bet the terrorists will say it's against their religion to be veiwed in this way and allowed to bypass it.

Eh? Fox wasn't arguing against having security measures.

Pish · 13 Oct 2009 at 10:47

It leaves the possibility of staff abusing their position?
