My definition of 'scrapped' differs from theirs: they aren't getting rid of the scanners altogether, they're replacing them with an upgraded model. OK, the upgrade gives them privacy features, rather than raw images, but 'scrapped' seems a bit strong.
I should also note that it's only Manchester airport that's affected, not the whole of the UK.
- frobozz 14y agoThe normal definition of scrapping something is to get rid of it, typically in such a way that it is not reused in its current form. e.g. If I scrap my car, it means that I am no longer using it, nor have I sold it on to another driver to use it. It will likely be broken up for parts. Whether I get a new car to replace it has no bearing on whether it has been scrapped.
