Body scanners are now required at airports

So far, however, it is only in Manchester and London, but soon, as promised, such scanners will be the standard at all airports in the UK, then in Europe and, apparently, in the world.
Previously, a passenger at the search had the right to choose: to be touched by a security guard or to be a translucent scanner.
Now this choice is not available. The only thing you can do is demand that your ... hm, a photo was viewed by an airport employee of the same sex as you.
Those who refuse to scan are not allowed to board the flight.

All official statements emphasize that the images are deleted as soon as the passenger has passed the control and the airport employees are convinced that everything is clear with him. However, the Electronic Privacy Information Center (abbreviated EPIC ) is proof that scanning devices have image storage and transmission functions (for example, via USB or via TCP / IP).
