. . . or at least I can see through your clothes.
Manchester Airport in the UK is conducting trials of a very powerful x-ray machine in its efforts to counteract terrorism.
The machine is a full body scanner which 'sees' through clothes to the body beneath, showing clear images of piercings, prostheses and private parts as well as more dangerous hidden items.
No good wearing flattering cover-all clothes - all your lumps and bumps will be on display in clear black and white. The images will only be seen by one person in a remote location and will then be deleted. I foresee a new crime - selling images to interested parties!
Passengers may still opt for the more traditional check-in, preferring to remove shoes, belts, coats rather than revealing all.
I saw this on the TV today,and wondered what my new hip would look like on the screen.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! It would look very smart, I'm sure . . .
ReplyDeleteI saw it too and it really is quite revealing,isn't it?!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the job of scanner will attract a multitude of applications from the less than savoury members of society?
You could well be right Sue!
