Re: "No scan, no fly"-regler på Heathrow og Manchester
Og da var de første paxene forhindret i å fly etter å ha nektet for body-scanning:
Quote:
A Muslim woman was barred from boarding a flight after she refused to undergo a full body scan for religious reasons.
...
Her female travelling companion also declined to step into the scanner, citing “medical reasons” for her refusal.

Og bare for å kaste litt bensin på sikkerhetsbålet:
Quote:
The explosive device smuggled in the clothing of the Detroit bomb suspect would not have been detected by body-scanners set to be introduced in British airports, an expert on the technology warned last night.
...
Tests by scientists in the team at Qinetiq, which Mr Wallace advised before he became an MP in 2005, showed the millimetre-wave scanners picked up shrapnel and heavy wax and metal, but plastic, chemicals and liquids were missed.
If a material is low density, such as powder, liquid or thin plastic – as well as the passenger's clothing – the millimetre waves pass through and the object is not shown on screen.
