http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8490860.stmLord Adonis - probably shows off going through the scanner And what's the point of 'a small proportion of passengers' being selected?

I thought the idea was that if you refused the scan you would be patted down. And what are the chances of there being a rule for us and another for them.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

I though you were going to be allowed to opt for a pat down search instead.

Apparently "they" think so too. Although I did comment on our holiday in Egypt "Tourist" sounds a bit like "Terrorist" with an Arabic accent
