not unless you have a load of drugs or explosives hidden on or inside you!

Not worried in the slightest as I can't afford to go on holiday.

Now there's also going to be a market for clothes that display naughty messages only visible to the body scanner.
I'm going to cut a [s]large[/s] larger cock out of tin foil and stick it down my trousers 🙂

Personally I'd sooner be bodyscanned than have a close physical search. Not too bothered about either but it seems less invasive to walk through a machine than to get the full pat down and nad weighing I always seem to get.

Generally, I'm right in on the civil liberties argument, and the "rushed in as a response to hysteria not because it's any good" argument, but these things do basically seem like a good idea if regulated right. The ones they're demoing don't show massive detail for that matter.

Course, the usual argument- that really good airport security would just move potential bombers onto softer targets- remains 100% true.

One thing that's always got me is the size of the queues to get through security in uk airports, surely if you were so inclined you could blow yourself up there, in a large crowd, rather than try to sneak the bomb onto a plane...meh.

I've been through the full body scanners they trialled at T4 loads of times and they are VERY revealling.

Knob size.

Lard.

It is ALL visible.

But funny.....

So, what your saying is go through the scanner with a set of false gnashers attached to your manhood?

As someone who flies 40 - 50 times per year, i welcome anything that makes it a bit safer. They can see my wobbly bits...dont give a damn. Its hardly foolproof, but if it makes it just that bit safer im all for it.

DrRS**** is right. You should ask to see your image. I did at T4 and it is hilarious. All your fat bits are squidged up over your trousers and your willy is at a funny angle (depending upon pants).

Knee jerk reaction from the govt. Has the trial in Manchester Airport finished, and if so has it been proven to be effective in anyway?

News is reporting that most people will undergo standard screening and only certain individuals will go through the full body scanner. Might as well not bother seeing as the "intelligence" agencies were apparently aware of the Xmas day bomber yet he still flew without any apparent problems.

Will get the human rights organisations up in arms that some/all travellers will be screened.

Personally I think we should have to strip naked then swim through a transparent tube before boarding a plane. This would also have the advantage of giving some fellow travellers a well needed bath 😀

It no longer worries me what they get up to at airports, I'm quite happy to never travel by air again unless I have to for work (unlikely). Holiday around Europe / UK in the car.

Theres already doubts about its effectiveness.

I'll stick to the Ferry/Channel tunnel. Yes- they'll switch their attention to those next so hey-hum.

Gordon the bloody idiot will pick up the ball after its dropped this summer I bet.

F-human rights how about the one to live !

[i]War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.[/i]

The illusion of a threat to make sure everyone does as their told in the interest of security, so we all say f*** human rights.

A sense of proportion would be nice.

If the government is keen to stop the things that are killing us, why not check the statistics.

How many Anglican grannies have blown up a plane, how many catholic teenagers have blown up a plane, and how many muslims have blown up a plane?

Just fast stream low risk categories at security. It would be a bit of a nuisance for our muslim citizens being singled out, but I suspect most would be aware of where the danger is coming from and are not keen on mid air disintegration.

epicyclo

<overly PC mode> but you just can't single out one race, regardless of fact!!! despite it being one or two extreme nutters who have caused the recent problems, having some association with the muslim faith </end of PC mode>

Mind you, whatever next, UV scanners for churches? just to make sure the catholic child molesting vicar doesn't have any bodily fluids upon his presence?

epicyclo- someones skin colour doesnt make them or less susceptible. One day we will see a white extremist muslim. the risk is there.

@epicyclo - If we single out Muslims for going through the scanner, can we have an additional scanner for identifying people who lied about their religion on the form?
