If I were to get selected for this (and I'm pretty sure I probably have some sort of file already), what happens as far as personal belongings going through the scanner? I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving them sat there whilst I'm getting checked out (
) by someone.
Sorry if this is a question I could've found the answer to easily, I've read a few threads and seen nothing about this.
Welcome to FT! I imagine your belongings will proceed through the X-ray as usual. Typically the carry-on x-ray takes much longer than the WTMD, so even with the delay created by having to deal with the scanners, I don't imagine your belongings will sit for very long.
Unfortunately, since you're flying out of MAN, you're kinda out of luck:
No UK opt-out on airport body scanners - and to add insult to injury, the article seems to indicate that MAN is equipped with backscatter, not MMW.
