New rules on the use of security scanners at European airports

In addition, passengers are given the right to opt out from a control with scanners and be subject to an alternative method of screening.

This can only be good news, but I wonder how quickly (if at all) this will apply to UK airports. The last time I tried to opt out of a backscatter scan in Manchester, where they have been trialling these machines, I was told “no scan, no fly.”
