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”
"'I'm always stopped by the security, because of the name. And I think its okay: the western world is a little bit worried, paranoid and touchy, I guess - and feely when they're frisking you,' Khan told his celebrity chat show host moments after explaining how his new film is about a Muslim named Khan on a mission to tell the US president he is not a terrorist.
'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.
'You walk into the machine and everything - the whole outline of your body - comes out.'
This is a scam that attempts to lure people into thinking this whole ordeal is 'OK' because our televised hero 'Sharuh Khan' tolerated it with a thumbs up.

It would have been OK had he just endorsed the scanners,
NO IT WOULDN'T!
WHAT KIND OF MINDLESS iLLOGICAL nonsense IS THAT???!?
'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.'"
What a refreshing attitude, to just sign the picture instead of birthing a cow over it.

I predict some celebrity will walk through one and that ohsovery detailed pic will get leaked and go viral hitting every tabloid and email box, lawyers will get richer and terminals will come to a standstill with people refusing to use them.

If pop idols think it's ok then so do we!

The personal attention adds such a nice touch to an otherwise cold and formal event, don't you think?
