Airport Screener "Ogles" Woman Using Full-Body Scanner

Remember last December when these full-body scanners started being placed in airports around the world? I, and many others, warned that the potential abuse for such an intrusive devise was huge, and that it WOULD BE abused.

We were ignored.

That was a mere three months ago, and already the first RECORDED instance of an airport screener using the machine to ogle women has come to light.

A security worker at London's Heathrow Airport has received a police warning and faces disciplinary action over claims he ogled a female colleague using a full-body scanner, officials said on Wednesday.

The 25-year-old worker made lewd comments after his colleague Jo Margetson, 29, mistakenly strayed into the scanner, which can see through clothes to produce an image of the body, the Sun newspaper reported.

Details of the incident at Heathrow's Terminal 5 on March 10 emerged on the day lawmakers said concerns that the scanners were intrusive had been overblown.

"For every official caught ogling like this, there are plenty more eyeing up law-abiding travelers," Alex Deane, director of the Big Brother Watch campaign group, told the Sun.

So there you go, just as we warned you. Those full-body scanners are being used as a voyeuristic enabling device by people who like looking under the clothing of other people.

And it's wrong.
