Hello Folks, Way back in May I reported on the security scanners that take naked pictures of passenger. It was happening in the USA at the time. Hey presto its now BACK in the UK.. Don't worry you had no choice in the matter and really what would you have done if you had? (I know... Bugger all!) It is now happening in the UK and trials of the scanner have started at Manchester airport after previously being 'tried' at Heathrow and they are obviously destined, sooner or later, for an airport near you. At the moment you can refuse to be scanned...but for how long?

ATLANTA, Georgia (May 18) - Privacy advocates plan to call on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to suspend use of "whole-body imaging," the airport security technology that critics say performs "a virtual strip search" and produces "naked" pictures of passengers, CNN has learned.
The national campaign, which will gather signatures from organizations and relevant professionals, is set to launch this week with the hope that it will go "viral," said Lillie Coney, associate director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, which plans to lead the charge.
