Now showing at MMIA: Nude images of passengers ( Nigeria )
THIS DAY ^ | 09.20.2010 | Chinedu Eze ,

Security officials gather and giggle at naked travellers in body scanner .

The 3D full-body scanners procured for thorough body check of passengers at the nation's major airports for security reasons are now being abused by security officials from the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN)...

They use the machines, installed in the wake of the Farouk AbdulMutallab affair, to watch the naked images of female passengers for fun.

The controversial body scanners have been dubbed "e-stripping" in advanced countries because of the way they expose the nakedness of those being screened.

THISDAY discovered that during off-peak periods, the aviation security officials, who are trained on the use of the scanners, usually stroll from the cubicle located in a hidden corner on the right side of the screening area where the 3D full-body scanner monitors are located.

They do so to catch a glimpse of some of the passengers entering the machine and immediately go back to view the naked images, in order to match the faces with the images since the faces are blurred on the monitors while passengers are inside the machine.

The face that appears on the scanner's monitor is usually blurred so that the operator viewing the full body will not recognise who passes through the machine.

But by coming out to see the passenger in person and then going back to see his or her image, the objective of protecting the privacy of the passenger has been defeated.

Kids will have this stuff in two years. That gives those who need it about two years to get in shape so they don’t get laughed at...

Ha! I had exactly the same thought but you outlined it better than what I was thinking.

Excellent!

Which country do you mean? You think the same thing isn't about to happen here -- if it isn't already? We're no better than they are.
