Bollywood actor Shahrukh Khan has been signing print-outs made at the security check-point by staff at Heathrow airport. See the interview here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jchXO4YKu5o
Khan, appearing on 'Friday Night With Jonathan Ross' - one of British television's most popular weekend shows - revealed he's been turning the controversial security machines into a public relations opportunity at London's Heathrow airport. "I'm always stopped by the security, because of the name. And I think its okay: the western world is a little bit worried, paranoid and touchy, I guess - and feely when they're frisking you," Khan told his celebrity chat show host moments after explaining how his new film is about a Muslim named Khan on a mission to tell the US president he is not a terrorist. "I was in London recently going through the airport and these new machines have come up, the body scans. You've got to see them. It makes you embarrassed - if you're not well endowed. "You walk into the machine and everything - the whole outline of your body - comes out." Khan said he did not know that the body-scans - installed in the wake of last year's abortive Christmas Day bombing of a transatlantic flight over Detroit - showed up every little detail of one's body. "I was a little scared. Something happens [inside the scans], and I came out. "Then I saw these girls - they had these printouts. I looked at them. I thought they were some forms you had to fill. I said 'give them to me' - and you could see everything inside. So I autographed them for them." http://www.hindustantimes.com/Shah-Rukh-signs-off-sexy-body-scan-printouts-at-Heathrow/H1-Article1-505859.aspx
