He is a lying creep who loves misdirection. It is no surprise that he fancies the creation of a false dichotomy of strip search machines or of "pat downs" to manually investigate sex organs. Even as the supposed concern is explosives, he keeps skirting around the fact that ETD technology is more reliable than strip search machines in interdicting contraband explosives on person or in person than is the case with strip search machines even if ratcheting up the radiation strength to get more of a view into the body itself.

Why would the BBC give this has-been air time ?

Make that rich, corrupt has-been.

Hardtalk quite routinely gives has-beens an opportunity to get some airtime. Fortunately, the hosts of the program have a good history of tearing apart their guests by letting the guests do the tearing apart of their own storylines.
