So not long after they were introduced and as a matter of no surprise at all to virtually everyone, the body scanners at Heathrow have been used for ogling. This utterly predictable use of new technology for porn whilst worrying isn’t terribly surprising. What concerns me slightly more is that the security staff at Heathrow are apparently thick enough to enter “the X-ray machine by mistake” and also thick enough to tell the person concerned that they’ve just used a scanner to look at them. Though why the scanned guard “can’t bear to think about the body scanner thing” is a mystery as surely if they’ve nothing to hide…
Why the police were involved is another puzzle again.
