Its not optional. You refuse it, they refuse your flight.
Fuss over nothing, You aren't automatically entitled to fly just because you have a ticket.

You do know what an X-Ray does don't you.....Yes?
These aren't medical X-Ray scanners.
but you don't know who they are and they don't know who you are so it doesn't matter, you'll only be embarassed if you got a tiny dong

That's not really the same thing, there's no life being risked. I thought they picked some people from every flight at 'random' or if they had any reason to.
Evidently that's not what she believes. The person I was replying to asked, how you could not want to do this because of religion. The answer is simple.
Quite reasonable to expect a ninja to be a possible danger on a flight tbh.

you do know that we all get born naked right?
its not as though NOBODY will ever have seen this before. do they object to maternity staff in the same way?
some places probably still do strip searches. this is nowhere near as degrading...

The problem is this sort of thing isn't actually airline T&C's, but government pandering and fear-mongering with no real valid evidence to support effectiveness.
It is important to split the actions of a company with those they are forced to do by the state when determining whether the action is reasonable when the ability to choose has been removed.
Where's the risk to the airline and passengers in that? Unless they have something that can do damage, like a bomb, then that wouldn't be the case.
She should accept it, or go home.

ok oxy, you will be first in line for your mandatory cavity search then ? *sound of rubber glove*
great way to start your holiday...
when i go on holiday next and i am told to walk through a body scanner, i will say that they can strip search me but they can't take any pictures.
on a more serious note, there has been zero justification for body scanners at airports, statistically you have more chance of getting struck by lighting than dieing in a terrorist attack on an airplane.
just another example of the security industry manipulating the government and getting £100million's contracts for them, for security that won't stop a terrorist attack.

Oh I agree with you 100% on that, but it's known before you buy a ticket that you might have to be full-body-scanned. It's not as if they turned up and discovered it after they were sold the ticket.
Last time I flew I didn't even take off my shoes at the metal detector gate/search point even though I saw everyone doing it, they didn't even search me, they never do, I must look innocent 
This actually happened twice in a row now, both times in Gatwick airport.

Hey, perhaps she was trying to!
I was going to put that at the end of my post but thought it was best not to.

Yep, this is why people who work in hospitals always leave the room when you get an x-ray.

Smug git. I always get molested at airports, usually by the butch lesbian type security guard, who are none to gentle either.
