A human X-ray machine that produces "naked" images of passengers has started a trial at Manchester Airport.

 

The authorities say it will speed up security checks by quickly revealing any concealed weapons or explosives.

 

But the full body scans will also show up breast enlargements, body piercings and a clear black-and-white outline of passengers' private parts.

 

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

 

Sarah Barrett, head of customer experience at the airport, said most passengers did not like the traditional "pat down" search.

 

 

 

Question is - if they cannot be copied and are deleted straight away - how did they get the image?

I thought the coverage given on, 'Have I Got News For You !' was very amusing.

 

By the way - What is the meaning of 'Having Yours Johnson's on full view' as quoted by the brilliant Martin Clunes ?

 

I thought I was up-to date on Cockney rhyming slang !
