Aftenposten, one of the largest newspapers in Norway, today report +that +three +of the nude body scanners now is put to use at Gardermoen, the +main airport in Norway. This way the travelers can have their body +photographed without cloths when visiting Norway. Of course this +horrible news is presented with a positive spin, stating that "now +travelers can move past the security check point faster and more +efficiently", but fail to mention that the machines in question take +pictures of their nude bodies and store them internally in the +computer, while only presenting sketch figure of the body to the +public. The article is written in a way that leave the impression +that the new machines do not take these nude pictures and only create +the sketch figures. In reality the same nude pictures are still +taken, but not presented to everyone. They are still available for +the owners of the system and the people doing maintenance of the +scanners, as long as they are taken and stored.
+ +Wikipedia have a more on +Full body +scanners, including example images and a summary of the +controversy about these scanners.
+ +Personally I will decline to use these machines, as I believe strip +searches of my body is a very intrusive attack on my privacy, and not +something everyone should have to accept to travel.
