Body Scanners
There has been a couple of women refused travel on a plane at Manchester, because they would not be checked by one of the new body scanners.
I’m all for security and are broadly for increased measures, but the way it is in the UK is different to the USA. There if you refuse to go on a body scanner, you can be personally searched. In the UK, you can’t.
This is wrong, as there are various illnesses such as Li-Fraumeni Syndrome, where exposure to radiation is not recommended. In my view anybody suffering from such a disease would be totally within their rights to ask for a personal search, especially if they had a letter from their hospital.
