Just a brief update - Returned from trip today, all OK.

At MAN on outbound - put in line for WTMD, no body scanner.

SNN - Straight through WTMD, didn't see any body scanners in operation. Do the Irish even have any?

Thanks again for all the pointers - Flyertalk once again proves itself super and invaluable.

Now bracing self for the back-to-reality of going back to the office tomorrow
