+<p>Aftenposten, one of the largest newspapers in Norway, today report
+that
+<a href="http://www.aftenposten.no/reise/Slik-skannes-kroppen-din-i-fremtidens-sikkerhetskontroll-490666_1.snd">three
+of the nude body scanners now is put to use at Gardermoen</a>, 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.</p>
+
+<p>Wikipedia have a more on
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_body_scanner">Full body
+scanners</a>, including example images and a summary of the
+controversy about these scanners.</p>
+
+<p>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.</p>
