Subject: Airport Security: BBC - Shahrukh Khan on Jonathan Ross

It turns out that the images from the new full body scanners at airports do not get destroyed. Bollywood actor Shahrukh 
Khan has been signing print-outs made at the security check-point by staff at Heathrow airport. See the interview here:

> 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."
