It's 'funnier' in the UK - they ruled the scanners aren't a problem for kids, scanning them isn't obscene.
But images taken by the machines may be obscene - so possession of the pictures gets you prison + lifetime on the sex-offenders register.
This came up after they were going to use them in schools.
- Silhouette 16y agoI think the whole paedophilia thing is a weak argument against the virtual strip search machines. While I totally agree that subjecting children to that kind of abuse is completely inappropriate, I don't see how it somehow becomes any less completely inappropriate if you abuse someone the same way just because they have passed their 18th birthday. As far as I'm concerned, everyone responsible for setting the policy to use these machines or actually using them should be one trial away from the sex offender's register, just like anyone else who takes "naughty photos" of someone without their consent. They can have their hearing right after we're done with the agents described in the article who take such apparent delight in groping people inappropriately.
