Exposed: Shah Rukh Khan makes mockery of nude airport scanners

The British transport secretary said last week images taken by new full-body X-ray scanners, which capture in detail the human anatomy, would be destroyed immediately and not pose a risk to travellers' privacy.
But Indian actor Shah Rukh Khan has inadvertently put paid to the government's claims, telling BBC talk show host Jonathan Ross that he autographed printed scans of his own body for two female security officers.
"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.
".. it is very important to stress that the images which are captured by body scanners are immediately deleted after the passenger has gone through the body scanner.
"Staff are, of course, properly trained and supervised who manage the body scanners," British transport secretary Lord Adonis told the BBC last week about the new system.
