Supposedly the images that were scanned were destroyed after a scan is performed of a passenger at a UK airport. Based on the story below, that is not entirely true. Indian film star Shahrukh Khan were printed out and circulated by airport staff at Heathrow in London.

It's not the extra security that really bugs me. Now these images can be treated as "negatives" of sorts. Here is an example of a "before and after":
What concerns me most, is that these scans can also include children. If photos of film star Shahrukh Khan can be printed out, there is no real reason that a pedophile can get a hold of a picture of a child from one of these scanners. On that aspect, I am quite disgusted at the whole thing and do not support this technology in use at airports.
