Airports in Dubai will not introduce full body scanners as part of their border security regime.
The decision was made because the devices do not correspond with national customs and ethics, said Brig Ahmed bin Thani, the Dubai Police’s director of airport security. 


“I do not feel that it is necessary for us to implement such a technology while we are operating different methods and have different avenues that have worked so far,†he told The National newspaper.
“The use of such a device violates personal privacy and it raises a very sensitive issue for passengers, in addition to the fact that it does not complement our national ethics,†
he said.
The devices have raised privacy concerns because they allow authorities to see underneath clothing to the surface of the skin, although special software normally masks some parts of the body.
