It is not often I defend the MEN who do have a lot of articles full of bollocks but Skippy said
The article is bollocks. The body scanners are here to stay, indeed EDI just got one.
Whilst the article says
The scanners will be replaced with new ‘privacy-friendly’ machines, which use radio-frequency technology instead of x-ray radiation. Five will be introduced on an initial three-month trial from October 1. Bosses are hopeful that the trial will be a success so they can invest in eight more machines – at a further cost of £800,000.
So to my tiny mind that means that there will be scanners - just different ones and from the description further down the article, probably the same type as those at GLA. I can't see anywhere where the article suggests body scanners in general will be withdrawn.
