Airport scanner undresses passengers
Human rights workers in Mexico are objecting to an airport security scanner that shows passengers 'naked'.
The scanner, at Mexico City's international airport, is designed to help the police detect guns, drugs and hidden money.
It consists of a cabin where x-ray images of passengers are taken from various angles and sent to a monitor.
But Mexico´s National Commission of Human Rights wants the scanner removed.
A spokesperson told Terra Noticias Populares: ?We consider the use of this machine to be violating human rights, it virtually undresses people!?
But airport communications secretary Pedro Cerisola said: ?If people want to travel, that is the condition.?
