Trials are not continuing at other airports; rather, universal roll-out is underway at ALL UK airports carrying international traffic. And there's no opt-out in the UK -- if you're selected and you don't want to be scanned you will be arrested.
- semanticist 14y agoIt looks like you might not get arrested, but you definitely won't be permitted to fly. The BBC report on two women who refused scans in Manchester says they 'left the airport', with no mention of arrests. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/8547416.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/8547416.stm) It's still not a good situation. I don't travel often, and the installation of scanners at Edinburgh is adding to the stress.
