Would you go through the 'naked scanner' to save removing your coat?

No, I would not.

50ftQueenie · 13/10/2009 10:01

What and have a group of security guards laughing at my hideous pregnancy ravaged body?! Not a chance in hell!

TheCrackFox · 13/10/2009 10:02

No, I would rather take my coat off.

You can just image 'Dave' sat at his desk in the 'remote location' drinking his coffee, eating his custard creams and looking at all the different boobies.

I wonder how safe it is for pregnant women?

StretchFucksTheMailDaily · 13/10/2009 10:04

No, I wouldn't. Have to wonder though, they say it's optional, so won't anybody hiding anything just refuse??

I would. I hate always having to take off boots/bangles/belts...

Morloth · 13/10/2009 10:07

Sounds good to me. The removing coats and shoes thing is a PITA, I don't mind if anyone sees me naked.

Needs to be optional though not everyone feels the same way.

StealthPolarBear · 13/10/2009 10:09

yes, probably, sound easy enough and I have no shame!
Radiation thing would bothre me a bit

TheCrackFox · 13/10/2009 10:09

I think "Dave" would have to have years of therapy after seeing my tired body. He could sue his employers for millions.

ADragonIs4LifeNotJustHalloween · 13/10/2009 10:10

No f-ing way!

Itsjustafleshwound · 13/10/2009 10:14

I would - having to remove my shoes and coats, have my bag searched - twice - and trying to deal with two stroppy children and a buggy at the airport - just make it easier ...

What is to say 'Dave' is intersted in Female bodies???

50ftQueenie · 13/10/2009 10:16

Well 'Dave' certainly wouldn't be interested in female bodies after seeing mine!

ADragonIs4LifeNotJustHalloween · 13/10/2009 10:17

Personally, my concern is not 'Dave' seeing a fuzzy image of my naked body, it is a general mistrust of the security measures in place to guarantee the images are destroyed. Although I don't know why this bothers me since I have nothing to hide (piercings, enlargements etc).

IdrisTheDragon · 13/10/2009 10:18

I'd be fine with it.

thedollshouse · 13/10/2009 10:20

I would just take my coat off. No way would I go through the scanner.

whippet · 13/10/2009 10:22

I'd be fine with it I think - it's not exactly a clear image is it?

Just had a bizarre thought - imagine if it was like at a theme park, where they take a picture of you coming down a rollercoaster etc, and by the end of the ride you see all the photos lined up to make into mugs, keyrings...

Could be the same....

gorionine · 13/10/2009 10:26

No I would most definitely take my coat off and leave the scanner well away!

StretchFucksTheMailDaily · 13/10/2009 10:29

The images could easily be taken by another camera though, phone for eg. before being destroyed. And will all the MPs/celebs go though??

Madsometimes · 13/10/2009 11:02

Oh no, far to embarrassing. I do not have any problems with a pat down at an airport, it is always a woman that is doing it.

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 13/10/2009 11:18

Not in a bazillion years

Furball · 13/10/2009 11:35

I've already been through!

They had them in Schiphol, Amsterdam 3 years ago.

Didn't know at the time the image would be so clear but there you go

whomovedmychocolate · 13/10/2009 11:40

Yep, I don't mind. My body is no worse than most and frankly if you see more than 100 arses a day you just become blind to them IYSWIM.
