Airport scanners, which are used for airline security, have been criticised by travellers for being intrusive and making them feel naked and strip searched.

An LA-based company, Flying Pasties, has come up with a solution by providing sticky rubber "pasties" to passengers' private parts to spare their blushes.

According to Rex Features: "The stickers beam electromagnetic waves on to passengers while they stand in a booth. A virtual three-dimensional image is then created from the reflected energy."
