An employee at Heathrow airport has been given a harassment warning by police officers after he sneaked a peek at one of his female coworkers when she accidentally walked through a full-body scanner. Apparently that’s considered “misuse” of the scanners.
Now whether this fellow intentionally misused the equipment for his own perverse kicks or whether he accidentally took a scan out of habit, the young lady was left very shaken:
I can’t bear to think about the body scanner thing. I’m totally traumatised. I’ve spoken to the police about it. I’m in too much of a state to go to work.
Geez. So how am I supposed to feel once I have to walk through one of these full-body scanners in most airports? [Guardian]

Sunday, October 3, 2010 at 5:39 PMI’ve just been through one of these scanners and can’t see what all the fuss is about. I’d much rather be scanned and safe and know everyone else is being put through the same type of sceening. So what if someone doing the scanning gets his jolllies that way, so long as I’m unaware of it- go ahead- you’re welcome
