Body Scanners and Child Protection
Privacy campaigners have complained that the new body scanners effectively perform a virtual strip search.
UK child protection laws ban the creation of indecent images of children and it is looking like under 18s will be exempt from the scans. Civil liberties groups have called for stringent safeguards that will ensure that images derived from the new system will not be published on the internet or distributed.
At the beginning of January 2010 a trial of the new body scanning technology was commenced at Manchester airport.The body scanner triall only started after under 18s were exempted from the security check.
Concerns have been raised over the use of similar systems in the United States where the system calls for instant deletion of images. Concerns have been raised regarding the images of celebrities or those with unusual features being shared amongst airport security staff.
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) have said that there are justified concerns regarding an individual's right to privacy and the images produced by the new scanning systems. To address these fears the UK Department of Transport are developing a code of practice that will prevent staff from sharing or distributing images derived from body scanners.
There is currently a rush to introduce the new security technology at British airports due to the apparent attempt to blow up an American aircraft on December 25th by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. It has been estimated that there is only a 50 to 60% chance that the new body scanner technology would have detected the explosive materials allegedly carried by this man.
Many groups interested in privacy and civil liberties have raised concerns over the introduction of the new technology.
