Uh oh.... that is the technology which Germany rated 'fail'.

A reminder that sanity still reigns in Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland; it is only England which has lost its head. (Also a reminder that scanner use in the airports which do have them in England is still far lower than in the US, although there still doesn't appear to be an opt-out option)

It does sound like there is a chance that BSX at MAN and LHR T5 would be replaced with MMW, but that is little consolation.

And may I say that I am rather disappointed in the quality of the report from my usual English language paper, which generally does a better job than this. Remember, I'm one of those dangerous Extreme Left Leaning Europeans, according to one of our TSO friends.

 

exbayern, I'm one of those "dangerous Extreme Left Leaning" types, too, except that I'm American.

 

Always delighted to meet another ELLE, whether European or American, female or male.
