A source at the watchdog added: "Scanners have a negative impact on people's right to privacy, particularly the disabled, older people and children. Transsexuals and transgender people would be particularly vulnerable.

"We are talking about very intimate pictures. To be blunt, one could imagine a bunch of loutish security guards seeing some attractive women in the queue and all rushing into the office saying, 'Let's have a look'."
