Text 2 Naked Airport Security Scanning
Manchester Airport has started a trial of an X-ray security scanner which produces what’s been termed “naked” images of passengers. The new scanning machines provide a full-body image of a passenger, which authorities say will enable any concealed weapons or explosives to be uncovered more quickly.
Passengers will no longer need to remove their belts, shoes and coats when they go through security checks in the airport’s Terminal 2. The airport says this will “completely take away the hassle” of going through a ‘pat-down’ check at the security gate.
A spokeswoman for Manchester Airport said passengers can refuse to be checked by the machine if they are uncomfortable with the full-body image scan.
The scanners work by reflecting electromagnetic X-rays onto the passengers, with the reflected energy creating a black-and-white image. Then the image is transmitted to a security officer in a remote location.
After the naked airport X-ray a security officer then confirms if the passenger can proceed or if a physical search is required.
The scanners manufactured by RapiScan Systems and costing $126,000 each, have previously been trialled in the UK at London Heathrow.
