Dear Department for Transport,
Please tell me what types of body scanners are used at heathrow
airport. backscatter, millimetre or terahertz?
Do the machines have the ability to store and transmit images?
if this ability is turned off but the machine has the ability
please confirm this.
If the machine has the ability, why?
Why are children not exempt from these scans? Are children seen as
potential terrorists?
Yours faithfully,
