How many times will hot chicks be scanned?

LONDON - A new X-ray machine at London's Heathrow airport, which sees through passengers' clothes, has been attacked by civil liberties campaigners as a “voyeur's charter”. The machine uses low-level radiation to see through clothing, producing an anatomically detailed black and white image of the body underneath.

Randomly picked passengers are asked if they will volunteer to be scanned by the machine. (But I assume, mostly hot chicks).

But British civil rights group Liberty called the X-ray images unjustified and intrusive. “We obviously do not object to taking security measures, but I remain totally unconvinced that it is necessary,” a spokesman said. To justify the intrusion, the airport should show current detectors are inadequate, he added.

Traditional X-ray machines used to scan baggage have often struggled to identify plastic explosives, accidentally sounding alarms when detecting chocolate, cheese and peanut butter because of their similar density to the explosive Semtex.

This is news to me. I guess I'll have to remember not to bring the peanut butter to the airport next time.
