An employee at Heathrow airport has been given a harassment warning by police officers after he snuck a peek at one of his female coworkers when she accidentally walked through a full-body scanner. Apparently that’s considered “misuse” of the scanners.
Now whether this fellow intentionally misused the equipment for his own perverse kicks or whether he accidentally took a scan out of habit, the young lady was left very shaken:
I can’t bear to think about the body scanner thing. I’m totally traumatised. I’ve spoken to the police about it. I’m in too much of a state to go to work.
Geez. So how am I supposed to feel once I have to walk through one of these full-body scanners in most airports? [Guardian]
