Note that this might be illegal insofar as it's in explicit contradiction of a recent EU directive on scanners that requires an opt-out alternative to be offered. It's not clear yet whether the new regs carry the full weight of an EC Directive, but if they do, the UK will eventually have to comply and provide an opt-out. http://www.airport-int.com/news/eu-airport-body-scanner-guidelines-unveiled.html http://www.airport-int.com/news/eu-airport-body-scanner-guid...
