    Airport body scanners may be illegal...

    Exactly. Invasion of privacy, like I've always said, and indeed - is the response proportionate to the threat?

    Aside from the fact that these scanners aren't actually much use when it comes to finding actual terrorists, thanks to them being even sneakier.

    Damn...that was going to be my retirement job. So much for my twilight years of debauched leisure.

    I can seriously see some really perverted people going through these things with a big erection, just to show everyone their junk. A casual smile and a wink as you exit would help out as well you know.
