Lowdown on the naked airline scan
With a new x-ray scanner, passengers will not have to remove shoes and belts. No “stick-em-up” hands in the air, either.
Scanners sit in remote locations. It’ll be rolled out by selected US airports over next year.
A Lonely Planet reporter tested the system at Manchester Airport and concluded:
“It’s hard to see much wrong with it.”
He stood in an open-sided metal box with hands on his head for the procedure. Guards at a distance analyze the resulting pictures. But it does open up a passenger’s body to view (at least of the guard).
”But technology sometimes comes at a price and, to some, this may be a step too far, “ says the reporter,” Tom Hall.
“However, anything that gets me through security quicker, allowing more time for browsing geektastic airplane magazines and trying on duty-free sunglasses is a good thing,” Hall concludes.
