Airport worker 'abused scanner'


An airport worker was given a police warning for harassment after he was allegedly caught ogling images of a female colleague in a body scanner, it was reported.

The 25-year-old Heathrow security guard was quizzed by police over alleged remarks he made to co-worker Jo Margetson, 29, after she entered an X-Ray machine by mistake, The Sun reported.

The incident, which took place at Terminal 5 on March 10, is believed to be the first time an airport worker has been formally disciplined for abusing the scanners, which show clear outlines of passengers' genitals.


Ms Margetson told the newspaper: "I can't bear to think about the body scanner thing.


"I'm totally traumatised. I've spoken to the police about it. I'm in too much of a state to go to work."


The scanners were introduced at Heathrow and Manchester airports to check for concealed weapons and explosives following the failed Christmas Day bomb plot to blow up a jet over Detroit in the United States.


A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "Police received an allegation regarding an incident that happened at Heathrow Terminal 5 on March 10.


"A first instance harassment warning has been issued to a 25-year-old male."
