1. Is this some new high-tech "remove clothes" beam rather than the traditional "I'm a haunted house reject" X-ray machine?

Okay, I have to say that article makes it sound much better than I thought. First off, it's in Manchester, so it's not even an American concern at the moment. Second, it's entirely optional. If you want to save time, would rather not be patted down, and don't mind "one officer in a remote location" seeing your goodies "before it is deleted," then you have this option. I can see the concern people might have in it becoming a mandatory practice, but for the moment at least, it's nothing of the sort. And since "they cannot be stored or captured in any way," Warbler's jack off material concern is moot. Not to mention it doesn't really look all that sexy. So for right now, I really don't see anything wrong with it. Since it's optional and given a clear alternative, it seems the people will decide how far a system like this gets.
