Airport Body Scanners Go Into Action Today
These scanners have USB ports too, just like the one you use to digitize flat objects!
The controversial body scanners that have been making the news over the past few months are now a mandatory procedure. Those flying out of the UK though Heathrow and Manchester airports may be selected by security staff to go through the body scanners.
While travelers were previously able to elect to be patted down by security instead of being scanned by the machine, that option is no longer available. Those who refuse will not be able to travel; this policy includes children, reported the Register.
Those who are chosen to be scanned by the new machines still get to have a choice of having their image viewed by someone of the same sex.
As officials have always maintained, images from scans will be deleted immediately after the screening procedure. Privacy firms, however, have found information that points to the scanners having the capability to both store and transmit images if configured to do so.

Sure so much for privacy.

How about your kids or your wife guys like being scanned like some piece of cheap merchandise while those on top get to dehumanize every one who isn't of the elite.

I'll have to remember to fluff before I go through the scanners next time I fly.
Have a police officer stand behind the TSA official and arrest him the first time a child goes through the machine, for breaking the child pornography laws. Then go to the company that makes the machines and arrest the CEO.
I wish this was a consumer choice rather than a government mandate.
I stand by my Scrub Air with separate cargo planes...

So, this is the direction we are going to go in huh? I wonder if Mrs. Obama is gonna take that guy up on his offer in the 3rd link above. I wonder if any news agency would air the challenge? Tosh.0 maybe?
i give it a month before somebody is posting these 'security' pictures on the net, tops
why? whats the worst that can happen, you see an old grandmother before you step in and blow it with the hot chick. oh and hatecribe69, they are already on the net, try looking at the top of the article, if any part of that is sexy, you have problems.
whatever, it's not like the guy is sitting back there getting off on this stuff. if this means i dont have to be practically naked to walk through a metal detector then so-be-it.
even if they are not the best images right now, do you think that they won't have picture perfect high rez pictures of you naked in 3-5years or less?
Total damage to privacy!
Consequences will be bad..
Hmmm
ha ha ha you can see their private parts, lol. so much for the so much loved freedom. US is becoming more and more like a communist country day by day. this is bull, but if someone wants to get off to a naked image of me then let them do it, it doesn't hurt me, lol. i guess everyone needs an hobby
after you go through the scanner you should ask them to delete the image
see what happens
Well if someone wants to see you that badly then maybe that's a compliment. Personally I'd rather give up some privacy rather than to have my plane explode mid-air.
The images do not look very lifelike. In fact they don't look good at all.
I'll pack cotton over my crotch. xP

There are always room for new f#$ked up fetishes. =(
I should get some Viagra for my next flight. I'll go through the scanner at full salute looking like Bob the Enzyte guy.

Exactly, since an image of a full grown man/woman looks bad, I wonder how bad a small bag of liquid explosive would look?
Maybe like a fold in the clothes or skin, perhaps to small and darkly shown snugged up in an arm pit or groin?
Granted the technology will evolve, the images will be sharper, crisper, 3D even? Who knows really, but until it reaches that point what good is it going to do when people are just smuggling stuff in the lining of their underwear...
Be in the knowledge that someone, somewhere, will masturbate over these sorts of images.
Get some metal based paint and write something on your chest or rear that shows how you feel about these scanners.

That one is a fake, someone just took some of those pictures and photoshopped a gun in after messing with the quality.

Sorry, look at row 1, 6 from the left,
and row 2, 3 from the left.
I have to add that I was fooled by it as well.
Welcome to Socialism, my dear friends.
Government said do it, you do it, no doubts, no second thoughts, Just do it.
Talking shit about China every other day huh? so much for having "Freedom"
Again, these pictures are just what they are letting the public see. That does not mean that this quality of image is all that these machines are capable of. After all they have lied to us about the ability of these machines to record and transmit these images.

You don't know what people are getting themselves off with today. There are some sick people out there that will surely take this.
This is an issue with privacy...or the lack there of. When are you willing to step forward and say no more? When they have scanners in place that are able to see through clothes?
I am interested in seeing someone file child pornography laws against them. Not like it would ever go to trial...but maybe it would get media attention.

Hey there smarty, you did read that this is for the UK, right?
For now...
Sure, I agree, I'd expect the US to do this as well. However, that doesn't take away from the fact that people would rather just assume it's the US, rather than read the actual story. /shrug

haha awesome!
What type of training do i need to become an Airport scanner person?
The worst thing is that the so called "ghostly images" are actually quite detailed images of your naked body. You can read below about the experience of a woman flying from Manchester.

And Just a secon thought - if you can be fairly positive that your naked images, your wife's or your kid's naked images would not be saved and kept at a UK or an USA airport what about going through these scanners at a Russian, a Chienese ariport or lets say Romanian airport (as one of the new EU members), would you be so sure then?
