Bollywood star's scanner claims false: airport

Airport owner BAA has disputed the claim of a Bollywood star that he signed print-outs of "nude" security scans of his body at Heathrow.
The airport has labelled Shah Rukh Khan claims “completely factually incorrect”, London's Telegraph reports.
Authorities around the world have repeatedly tried to placate privacy fears over the new scanners by stating that the images created could not be stored.
Khan's claims of print-outs from the scans created a storm as a result.
BAA said the claims "simply could not be true", stating that the scanners had no facility for printing images or storing them.
Khan's comments about the scanners occurred on Jonathan Ross's BBC talk show.
"I came out [of the scanner] and then I saw these girls and they had these printouts," Khan said.
"So I looked at them, I thought maybe it's a form you're supposed to [sign] ... and you could see everything inside.
"And then I've autographed them for them."
The scanners are in use at Heathrow and Manchester airports, with Birmingham airport set to follow suit later this month.
