A combination of images shows an airport staff member (L) demonstrating a full body scan at Manchester Airport in Manchester, north-west England, and a computer screen showing the results of a full body scan (R) on October 13, 2009. The image on the right is not from a scan of the man pictured left. The scanner works by bouncing x-rays off an individuals skin to produce an outline of the person’s body which is then used to detect concealed, potentially dangerous objects. The image is then transmitted to a remote security officer who has no visual or verbal contact with the area where the machine is located. AFP PHOTO/PAUL ELLIS
