Yes, it's in Europe, not the US.

But, the US TSA pretty much dictates airport security policy around the Western world.  You want to fly to the States?  Then follow the TSA's rules for security protocol.

Well, the Euros have done something right, for once.  Good on them.

Scanners use X-ray technology to show up hidden explosives or weapons
Fears machines could emit harmful levels of cancer-causing radiation
European report said risk 'close to zero' but bosses still failed to give go-ahead

when you have to follow them you might wanna take a peek and see where they are leading you

EC bosses eventually declared the risk was 'close to zero' in a report in May - and Manchester airport expected the technology would be approved for permanent use.
 

But bosses are still waiting for the green light and now say they have been left with no option but to axe the 16 security machines because Brussels legislation does not allow security trials to exceed a three-year period.

As Manchester airport introduced the scanners as part of a security pilot in October 2009, they will have to scrap the machines at the end of next month.

In a red-tape wrangle, £1.1m will be splashed out on new 'privacy-friendly' machines and the recruitment of an extra 55 full-time security officers, who will manually frisk passengers.

The new scanners will use radio-frequency technology instead of X-ray radiation.

Russell Craig, spokesman for the airport, said: 'We’ve been talking to passengers literally every week and our security staff and overwhelmingly in August it was 100% thumbs-up to security at Manchester Airport.

X-rays are just EM radiation of a particular frequency or wavelength.... just like "radio-frequency".


So, any hints as to what frequency they're going to irradiate us with instead?

Gee, I hope it's a Classic Country station

Well, there's always 2.45 GHz.  Works well for microwave ovens.  Boils water really well.

Oh, don't forget pace makers and WLAN signals.

I saw a show where someone used IR to detect foreign objects being carried. A lot less invasive and could be a lot cheaper too.

Would an American made gun be okay, then ?

Just use one of those porcelain Glock 7's that cost more than a month's pay.

I assume it's the "millimeter wave" scanners that use non-ionizing radiation.

Alright, I'm smellin' what yer steppin' in!
