February 2, 2010 No scan, no seat
New security rules took effect today at two major British airports that require selected passengers to undergo full body scans. If they refuse, they will not be allowed to board a flight. - AOL
Heathrow Terminals 1, 2, 3 and 5 will see the scanners implemented in the next few weeks.
A Department for Transport spokesman said: ‘We understand the concerns expressed about privacy in relation to the deployment of body scanners, which is why we have drawn up a code of practice for their use.
‘This will ensure operators are separated from the passengers being screened, and these anonymous images are destroyed after scanning is complete.’
And the case of “scan everybody” advocates will be bolstered by this unsettling possibility: breast implants of death.
