Anyone know if children are being put through the new T1 Scanners?
Am flying in again soon with a 7 year old who I know won't react too well.

Will Children be forced to use the Scanner?
The use of Body Scanners is compatible with the Protection of Children Act 1978 and we are confident the introduction of these scanners is a proportionate and necessary step in enhancing security for passengers.
The Government directive authorising the use of body scanners by airports does not exempt children because this would undermine the effectiveness of these new security measures.
All Airport staff viewing the images will have already undergone a criminal record check which includes checking for offences against children.
