Is this compulsory, or can one opt-out (such as at SVO)?

Jeez guy looks like he has a tumor....
Nice tush on the lady LOL

I hope there is an opt out.

Crap-Ola! Since you can see bones it can't be good...

That does not seem very safe especially since they can see bones

Why does the platform in that thing look like a conveyor belt?

Yeah, weird, isn't it?

Did you notice on the xray screen that it shows bones but it's also labelled 'low dose'?

Makes you wonder what a 'high dose' image looks like. :(

This NOS does not belong in any airport. :mad:

Because it is one.

They have these machines at some airports but they are used by customs where there is a suspicion a passenger may have concealed contraband internally. Not at security.

Remind me not to go to Russia.

It's not a nudoscope with a conveyor, you guys are all wrong. It's a running machine with an in-built x-ray to help you prefect your running technique.

Never been to Russia, cr@p like this makes it very unlikely I ever will. Nothing to hide but seriously....
