Are children exempt from screening?
Children aren’t exempt from screening. If over 1m, children should use the Security Scanners as part of the security process. Should you require further assistance, please follow instructions from our Security Officers.
How do I use the scanner?
A Security Officer will assist you when using the scanner. Simply walk into the scanner and stand as the image in front of you shows. It’s quick and easy to use and only takes a few seconds. Once you’re done, carry on through to collect your belongings and into Departures.
What do scanners see?
Security Scanners generate a gender-neutral outline of a passenger’s body, rather than an actual image so it is impossible to identify individuals.
Why do you use Security Scanners?
Security Scanners are required at all airports in line with Department for Transport and CAA regulations. They are used to locate objects concealed under clothing, and are quicker and less intrusive than hand searches. A hand search will only take place if the scanner identifies areas that need further investigation. If you are selected for a hand search, our Security Officers will assist you.
