Here is a quote from a lassie on another forum who went through the other
week......."I was randomly selected to go through this type of scanner at
Heathrow a year or so ago and asked to see the image. It was a picture of me
without any clothes or body hair. But it was not an x-ray image i.e. it only
showed the exterior body surface"
And this is what i found out...........

Starting today, the Security Scan at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol will be used for
passenger security and Customs control procedures. The Security Scan is a
machine that produces an image of the body contours using millimetre wave
reflection technology. The image will tell security staff immediately whether a
passenger is carrying any prohibited items on his or her body.
The introduction of the Security Scan at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is a joint
initiative of the NCTb (National Counter-Terrorism Coordinator), Customs
authorities and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
Security Scan different from Body Scan
The Security Scan should not be confused with the Body Scan used by the Dutch
Border Police (Koninklijke Marechaussee) for so-called 100% security screening
at the airport. Unlike the Security Scan, the Body Scan uses X-rays that pass
through the body to trace swallowed items.
Used by Customs and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol
Customs will use the Security Scan to find out whether passengers are smuggling
items (such as drugs, cash or diamonds) in or underneath their clothing.
Schiphol uses the Security Scan to check departing passengers who, in accordance
with the Civil Aviation Protection Act (Wet beveiliging burgerluchtvaart), must
be screened before boarding.
The Security Scan is voluntary
From today, passengers will find a Security Scan at Pier H and another one near
the Pier E gate. In the months to come, a total of 17 Security Scans will be
installed in the Terminal. Subsequently it will be decided whether the Security
Scan should be introduced for security control procedures on a larger scale. For
the time being, passengers will have a choice between using the Security Scan or
going through regular security procedures.
Faster and more client-friendly
Passengers will probably experience the Security Scan as a more client-friendly
procedure, as it reduces the need for hand searches. The Security Scan is also
expected to speed up the overall passenger screening process.
No health hazard, privacy guaranteed
Millimetre wave technology is entirely safe, as it involves the use of harmless
millimetre waves that are reflected off the skin. Passengers are not exposed to
any type of radiation, and their privacy is carefully guarded too. The Security
staff member (image analyst) views the images in a closed space and is unable to
see the person in the scan. As an extra privacy precaution, the passenger's head
is made invisible.
