London's Heathrow Implements Body Scanners

Anybody traveling out of Heathrow Airport in London will now be subject to screening by a body scanner (see image of results).

The new screening equipment was installed after the Amsterdam-to-Detroit bombing attempt by a Nigerian national, who slipped through security with body bombs.

"Given the current security threat level, the government believes it essential to start introducing scanners immediately," said Transport Secretary Andrew Adonis.

Britain raised its terrorism threat level to "severe," the second-highest level, on January 22, days before London was due to host two international conferences on Yemen and Afghanistan. The conferences took place last week without any security incident.

What are the odds the sexiest women are routinely--but invariably--body scanned?
