An LA-based company has tackled the problem of intrusive airport full-body scanners - with a product that covers your private parts.Flying Pasties can be fixed onto the body to cover sensitive areas that would otherwise be viewable in the scan.Made from 2mm thick rubber they can either be slipped under underwear or attached with an adhesive hook, inside or outside clothing.And they can also be bought with humourous slogans on them such as "Only my boyfriend sees me naked".Company spokesman Michael Luongo said: "Until now, citizens haven't had a proper way to voice their displeasure over the intrusive nature of airport scanners."Flying Pasties are meant to provide airplane travellers adequate protection from intrusive full body scanners while not interfering with airline security."The unique ease of removability will allow travellers the ability to retain their self dignity."Flying Pasties start from about £9 each or £12.50 for a full set.Full body scanners, which produce "naked" images of passengers, work by beaming electromagnetic waves on to passengers while they stand in a booth.A 12-month trial at Manchester airport began in December while eleven major airports in America will begin using body scanners to screen passengers over the next two years.Source: orange news
