Can Airport Scans Be Child Porn?

As Britain joins the United States in tightening security procedures in the wake of the Christmas Day bombing attempt, privacy concerns and English law may complicate the efforts to install high-tech full body screens. From Wired magazine: "Although scanned images are not supposed to be stored, there are concerns that security personnel are not adequately monitored and that images of children could fall into the hands of pedophiles." In trial runs, the Brits were forced to exempt children under 18 from the scans, and privacy advocates are seeking to block them entirely. "The rapid introduction of full body scanners at British airports threatens to breach child protection laws which ban the creation of indecent images of children," the Guardian reports.
