In the UK an Xray machine which shows naked images of passengers has now been introduced. This way security can immediately spot hidden weapons or explosives. Its currently in Manchester Airport as a Trial. Obviously this will come into effect in many more Airports eventually.
Would you prefer to be frisked or just appear undressed on camera?
Do you think it is an invasion of privacy? (some people do)

Maybe it's just me, but I've been frisked so many times in airports due to underwire bras, or belt buckels or whatever, that I am totally desensitized to the whole thing. Just get me on the darn plane!

Afraid to be Nude on camera? Did everyone forget were all nude under the clothes anyway? I don't see it as a problem if its for safety. I'd rather have everyone be seen nude without bombs, then clothed with them

Only trendy civil libbers would think it an invasion of privacy. But nobody cares about them.
I can also see fat people not liking it much. But then who cares about fat people.
Any tool that helps to keep people safe in the air gets my thumbs up.- 93

Nope, but now LadyE has told me about those new machines.... I am sure going to apply!

I'd rather just walk through the Xray machine, seems easier...

Really? Man..... I was duped. I actually thought we may have had a new babe around the place. Just goes to show that I spend 98% of the time looking at the breasts. Shame on me!

The images really are not that explicit. Hard to see what all the fuss is about.
If you're female and afraid your recent lack of bikini waxing will be visible on the scan, fear not. Your bits and pieces will not all be revealed in glorious technicolour.
However, like I said previously, if you're a fatty, then your body shape and the folds of your fat will be visible. So, good idea to get started with a diet eh?

Its nice to know so far on the thread, that no one's got qualms about it. I don't - it doesn't take a face pic, its just an image and one of the benefits has been stated by Uninvited Writer - Its easier.
The Airport is hoping it will speed up things.
Ryan, there is only one man on the Camera. Wishing you good luck with the Application.

Never been frisked thankfully but never want to go through that. Only my husband can frisk me thanks! lmao so I guess an X-ray is okay EXCEPT X-rays can cause cancer so I hope that they have figured out what to do about that little factor!
I'm OK with whatever works with the exception of a cavity search.

Great minds think alike.... they can x-ray me all they want.
On a serious note, anything that improves airport security has to be a positive thing. And we all know why. Over there you had 9/11, and over here we had Lockerbie, etc etc.
Airports are the one place that I would lose certain liberties in return for assurances over safety when your miles up in the air in a flimsy aluminium shell filled with hundreds of gallons of explosive fuel.- 93

I still say that yea it's a good idea but health wise would it be such a good idea giving ppl Xrays?

9/11 was truly sad. I have only been to New York one time. Went to the top of the World Trade Center. I can remember many details and could picture what the building looked like and imagine what people would have been going through.
