I don't have a UK passport as of yet but am in the process of going through application process, but once I do have a passport, should I decide to go to abroad, via plane, I would with no objections go through the scanners ect, as for 1 - I have nothing to hide and 2 - I am thankful of the security measures which are in place and strictly adhered to as I would rather this than the risk of leaving the UK and not returning myself but being carried in a box due to someone's sucidal actions not being detected as there is lack of security. Anyone whom has objections to the scan, would appear to most that they are hiding something/concealing something ect ect and that is the reason for them objecting, which is quite simply not much problem as it is / should be formal procedure to refuse anybody who does refuse the right to board their flight which will obv result in a loss of money from both flight/holiday which is all down to self defiance, is it really worth all the money at stake over a 30 second process?

Really Philanthro? That's a shame. Well, hopefully he'll feel better this morning and have another word with the Ed.

His apology took courage and was very nice indeed, and for the benefit of anyone who missed it but would like to see it here it is. (The only reason I have it is because I copy the post I'm replying to into a Word document in order to write my responses and I haven't deleted it yet).

//Naomi - I would like to apologise for my comments, and for any hurt caused. I regret that you are correct, they were deliberately offensive and for this I am sorry. I have reported my post as abusive and asked for it to be removed. I am also drafting an email to the Ed apologising for my behaviour and promising to be more responsible in future. I hope that you will accept my apology and that we can draw a line under the matter and move forward towards a better relationship.//
