Week Seven 旅游交通 一、阅读理解（共25小题；共50.0分） A Passengers at Scotlands two biggest airports will experience privacy-friendly body scans from this weekend. The move is part of a UK roll-out of the security technology demanded by the US. Full-body scanning machines, which bounce(弹回) radio waves off the body to detect black or hidden weapons, have already been installed in Glasgow and Edinburgh airports and will go live on Saturday. Travelers will either be randomly selected for scanning or will undergo a scan if there is a security concern or a metal detector is set off, the airports said.

It follows an order by the Department for Transport for body scans to be carried out on all flights to the US, though passengers on all flights will be subjected to the new authority, the airports said in separate statements. It will be required for selected passengers to have the scan and those who refuse will not be allowed to board their flight. A member of airport staff will be present throughout the process, which will take place within the security search area.
