Stand on the two footprint marks on the floor, raise arms up, the door closes and then opens again almost immediately. No problem!

Did the same at CLE recently,but I didn't realise it did an INTERNAL scan! <<

Does anybody know how it works; not the detail, for obvious security reasons, but is it an x-ray? If so, regular fliers (like crew) will be open to huge risks. I assume it doesn't do x-r but there is a trade off in trying to 'see' things inside you - most plastics/condoms, etc., won't show on less than x-r, which I think is why the Smith machine isn't widely implemented; not useful for drug carriers. Maybe it is a variation of the medical scans? then it is the cost that is holding it up.

P.S. who says the UK is the 'best' implenterof the rules? Evidence?
