Airport scanner catches travelers in buff

London Sunday Telegraph
LONDON — British tourists returning from Florida are expressing outrage over an American airport security scanner that shows the naked bodies of travelers as clearly as a life drawing.

Just a question it says 'low-level X-ray technology' if you get scanned everytime you go through a gate as I do everyday at work, is it safe, or over time the level of radiation builds up to a dangerous level?.

Honestly. This isn't new -- these scanners came on the market five years ago. What's wrong with people?

Yep, this machine has been used in Orlando since at least March, come on some people, catch up. Oh, by the way, has anyone heard that easyjet has bought GO???????????????????????????????????????????????

If you're concerned about the X-ray technology you'll be impressed by the solution developed by QinetiQ, a research organisation in the UK.

Does this mean that I am now likely to be stopped because of my large weapon?:D :D :D

No Harry, just put it in one of those lead-lined bag things. They come in different sizes, but I haven't seen any ribbed ones :eek:
