Manchester Airport have defended the trial, pointing out that the images are viewed in a different room from where the scanning takes place, breaking the link between the 'naked picture' and the person in question. They also point out that that pictures will not be stored.
Sarah Barrett, head of customer experience at the airport, said most passengers did not like the traditional "pat down" search.
At Manchester Airport's Terminal 2, where the machine has been introduced, passengers will no longer have to remove their coats, shoes and belts as they go through security checks.
Ms Barrett said: "This scanner completely takes away the hassle of needing to undress."
