MMW (Nude-o-Scope) comes to Manchester
Heard it yesterday on British Forces Radio, the first MMW in the UK will be installed at Manchester airport. The presenters made a big deal out of how the radiation is not harmful followed by the standard sheeple on the street interview response of "if it makes us safer".

The machine, created by RapiScan Systems of Torrence, Calif., would be used for secondary screening — after a person has set off a metal detector. The passenger could choose between the machine and a pat-down.
RapiScans in early October announced a $25 million contract with the U.S. Transportation Security Administration for the next generation of full-body scanners, which don't require passenger to turn around for a back view.
