'No security scan, no fly' policy to remain in force at UK airports
The "no security scan, no fly" policy at British airports is to remain in place despite EU demands that passengers be allowed a pat-down search instead, ministers have said, according to a report published in The Guardian.
The transport secretary, Justine Greening, said the refusal to allow passengers to opt-out from scanning was justified by the security threat to Britain and would be imposed through powers under the Aviation Security Act.
"Those passengers selected for scanning will therefore not be able to fly if they are not willing to be scanned," Greening said.
