Claims on behalf of authorities that naked body scanner images are immediately destroyed after passengers pass through new x-ray backscatter devices have been proven fraudulent after it was revealed that naked images of Indian film star Shahrukh Khan were printed out and circulated by airport staff at Heathrow in London.

UK Transport Secretary Lord Adonis said last week that the images produced by the scanners were deleted “immediately” and airport staff carrying out the procedure are fully trained and supervised.

“It is very important to stress that the images which are captured by body scanners are immediately deleted after the passenger has gone through the body scanner,” Adonis told the London Evening Standard.

Adonis was forced to address privacy concerns following reports that the images produced by the scanners broke child pornography laws in the UK. When the scanners were first introduced, it was also speculated that images of famous people would be ripe for abuse as the pictures produced by the devices make genitals “eerily visible” according to journalists who have investigated trials of the technology.

However, the Transport Secretary’s assurances were demolished after it was revealed on the BBC’s Jonathan Ross show Friday that Indian actor Shahrukh Khan had passed through a body scan and later had the image of his naked body printed out and circulated by Heathrow security staff.

“I was in London recently going through the airport and these new machines have come up, the body scans. You’ve got to see them. It makes you embarrassed – if you’re not well endowed,” said Khan, referring to how the scans produce clear images of a person’s genitals.“You walk into the machine and everything – the whole outline of your body – comes out,” he said.

“I was a little scared. Something happens [inside the scans], and I came out. Then I saw these girls – they had these printouts. I looked at them. I thought they were some forms you had to fill. I said ‘give them to me’ – and you could see everything inside. So I autographed them for them,” stated Khan.

The story was carried by Yahoo News under the headline “Shah Rukh signs off sexy body-scan printouts at Heathrow”.

Khan’s reference to “girls” with printouts of his naked body scan can only refer to female airport security staff responsible for processing the images produced by the scanners, “professionals” who are supposed to instantly delete the images, according to Lord Adonis.

The revelation that airport security staff are completely abusing any notion of the professionalism promised by authorities by printing out and circulating images of naked body scans should set alarm bells ringing, especially in light of the fact that such images of minors break child pornography laws. British authorities have made it mandatory for travelers to submit to the naked body scanners when asked and have overturned previous rules that prevented under 18’s from passing through the devices.

Within days of the devices being introduced at Heathrow, staff have abused their professionalism and printed out naked scans of a famous actor for their own titillation.

Where do you draw the line? Privacy vs safety (or the illusion/excuse of it) is a delicate discussion...and imo things are going the wrong direction lately

[paintballpdh19]

That's awful for somene to do... Well do you keep doing it for safety reasons or stop it due to this issue?

[user472884]

yea... these body scanners are bad news...

but seriously, you're the security guy being paid minimum wage scanning fat tourists with your only consolation throughout your 12 hour day is the Alizée-loaded ipod you're listening to....

you're watching the people pass through and you neglect the "click to save" button because frankly, everybody is so goddamn ugly

and up walks Alizée.

Come on, only you'd know

That article completely made me laugh. Especially the bit where the actor found the women with his nude body-scan pics and autographed them. Now that's class for you.

I would tell the true story of the two times I passed through the new scanners on my recent visit to Britain, but because it would sound too much like the one here, Deepwaters would wonder aloud if while there I was ever seen running from the home of the late Benny Hill with a stack of papers under my arm.

I say let the people have the means to protect themselves. Sky Marshals can't be on every plane, but one should not live in fear. People have become so sheltered that we believe we need "professionals" to protect us.

If you truly want to be safe, all that you need is the ready mental state to do what's necessary.

Like Jung said, too many people fail to act themselves and turn to others, aka "professionals" to do it for them.

In situations like a plane hijacking, or a guy trying to set off a bomb, some people will see what's happening, but won't act upon it. They'll just hope that someone else has seen it, and will take the initiative and do something about it, and that's where the said professionals come in.

Then again, seeing as how rarely we are in the ready mental state, these scanners and professionals seem to be the only thing that will work.
