Bravo Zulu to the English-speaking SO from a (well known, successful, listed) Asian carrier who refused to be scanned at BNE recently.
He opted for a pat-down, and was told that it was not an option. In reply, he said that in that case he will not be flying.
After quite a lot of too-ing and fro-ing, the on duty Manager somehow managed to get him airside for the flight, avoiding the scanner.
As someone who is senior to this chap, I am humbled by his strong approach, and hope that I show the same moral fortitude when placed in a similar situation.
