Body scanners staying at Manchester Airport after massive air passenger thumbs up
Oct 14 2010 Chester Chronicle
ALL three of Manchester Airport’s passenger security areas will have body scanners in use by the end of October, airport bosses have announced.
Work to install a body scanner in Terminal Three began on Wednesday on the first anniversary of the Manchester trial.
The go-ahead follows an overwhelmingly positive reception from passengers.
Since the launch of body scanners, about 400,000 people have used the technology.
Results of extensive passenger surveys since the airport began a voluntary trial in Terminal Two in October 2009 reveals more than 95% of travellers consistently rate the body scanner process to be a significant improvement on the ‘pat down’.
Body scanners have also slashed security queues.
