Airport Security to Become More Annoying

Because airport wasn't invasive enough already: The European Commission has proposed that by 2010, airports across Europe should contain body scanners that can see through clothing, showing everything from prospective weapons to breast implants and colostomy bags, according to the London Times. Members of European Parliament that oppose the scanners say they increase the temptation to leak personal information about celebrities to the public. Says one Tory spokesman, “This technology has the potential—and, I stress, the potential—to force air passengers to undergo what could be seen as undignifying treatment.”
