英国曼彻斯特机场近日引入了一套X光人体扫描安检设备，以帮助安检人员迅速发现乘客身上藏匿的武器或爆炸物，同时省去了传统手检时需要脱衣、脱鞋的繁冗程序。因为这套全身扫描设备可以清晰照射出人体的“裸体”轮廓，隐私部位均显露无疑，所以有些乘客不愿意接受这样的检查。该机场客服部门负责人表示，这种设备得到的图像只显示在一个遥控的终端上，并且只有一名安检人员能看到，扫描的图像无法保存或抓取，在安检通过后即被删除。另外，这种设备的辐射水平很低，人们一年接受5000次照射也不用担心会受到伤害。据悉，这套设备价值8万英镑，英国希斯罗机场也曾在2004年试用过。[文章版权禁止转载:考试与评价 http://www.trgroup.com.cn/te/ wN9YL;|&{8)O FroG]

But the black and white image will only be seen by one officer in a remote location before it is deleted, Sarah Barrett, head of customer experience at the airport, said.

"This scanner completely takes away the hassle of needing to undress. The images are not erotic or pornographic and they cannot be stored or captured in anyway," she said.

The scanners, which cost £80,000 each, were also trialed at Heathrow Airport in 2004. The Department for Transport will decide whether to install them permanently at the end of the trial, which is expected to last for a year.
