[35] When scanners were introduced in the US, privacy concerns were raised about the way that 3D ‘nude scans’ were made, and potentially retained, contrary to policy dictates. See, for example, J Johnson, ‘One hundred naked citizens: one hundred leaked body scans’, 16 November 2010, <http://gizmodo.com/5690749/> viewed 23 February 2012. These concerns were echoed in early debate about the introduction of scanners in Australia.
