X-ray scans being trialled at Manchester airport by Cheap Flights Booker UK

Manchester airport has launched a trial inviting passengers at its second terminal to use an X-ray scanner.
The imaging technology could replace "pat down" searches and remove the need for passengers to take off their jackets, shoes and belts to be checked.
X-rays are bounced off an individual"s skin to produce an outline of their body that will show any concealed or dangerous objects.
The image is then checked remotely by a security officer who can either confirm that the passenger can proceed or advise that a search is required.
Sarah Barrett, head of customer experience at Manchester airport, said: "Our passengers tell us that they don"t like being patted down by security staff at airports but they understand that it"s a necessary part of keeping them safe.
"Imaging technology offers a potential alternative but we know that some people see it as controversial. That"s why we"re running a trial. We"re being completely open about how imaging technology works so that passengers can tell us whether it is an acceptable alternative."
The trial will run for 12 months or until enough information is gathered to assess the efficacy of the process.
