The use of Body Scanners which reveal intimate body parts...


Recommended Posts

It does me, but least they'll be able to tell me which pocket me bloody phone's in.

But seriously, yes, it bothers me but there is nothing we can do about it if we want the freedom to travel.

Already every time I go to see rellies in USA I get my fingerprints checked and my irises checked.

Yes but there's a difference between having one's irises/fingerprints checked and having ones bosoms/fanny scrutinized! No?

Practical as always...with added humour...unfortunately the whole thing actually petrifies me (melodramatic I know...but it does)...oh dearie dearie me...

It's no big deal really. Not as if they are asking you to strip off! The scanned images aren't so explicit in detail anyway. The objective is too look for explosives etc and not to ogle at the person.... Besides I've nothing to hide, other than my tiny willy.

Exactly! The very idea of airport staff pointing and laughing at your tiny willy! Oh, it's too terrible to contemplate.

I get wound up enough in Somerfield . Queuing and hanging about at airports is enough to turn my pubes grey, not to mention incompetent staff and the ignorant public, all whilst paying good money for the privilege!! Pah

Now, a private jet would be altogether different ..

You say that but:


"The scans have been described by critics as a 'virtual strip search', outlining every contour of the body in detailed anatomical images".

For me, being viewed in a body scanner doesn't bother me, in fact the thought of being 'virtually' strip searched sounds quite interesting! I can imagine adopting muscleman poses (without the muscles, unfortunately). Or am I just an extrovert?

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
