Screener Conducting Airport Whole Body Scanning Accused of Taking Nude Photo of Colleague
The allusion of privacy protection around the use of Whole Body Scanners is fading fast. An airport worker at the Heathrow International airport is cited by police for harassment after being accused by a female colleague of having taken a nude photo of her while she was undergoing a body scan. It was reported that he showed her the photo and she reported him to authorities who issued the 25-year-old male a harassment warning. The airport operated in the United Kingdom claimed to have taken many of the same steps outlined by the Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration to protect the privacy of travelers being subjected to digital strip searches.
