Body Scanners to be used in Terminal 1

The DAA are introducing a trial of the body scanners that have proved controversial in other European airports. The length of the trial will be 18 months and will only be used on a voluntary basis for Dublin Airport Staff members.

The new body scanners came under scrutiny recently when a passenger in Manchester airport refused to go through and was not permitted to get on their flight. However a DAA representative has stated " we are very much looking into it and we will more than likely be trialing one here, but not for passengers." The European parliament commented on the subject of airport body scanners recently and said they must adhere to their directives and any use must ensure a persons the safety of ones health,dignity and privacy.
