Default 'Naked' scanner in airport trial

From BBC News Online

Quote:
A human X-ray machine that produces "naked" images of passengers has started a trial at Manchester Airport.

The authorities say it will speed up security checks by quickly revealing any concealed weapons or explosives.

But the full body scans will also show up breast enlargements, body piercings and a clear black-and-white outline of passengers' private parts.

The airport has stressed that the images are not pornographic and will be destroyed straight away.
Needed security device or invasion of privicy?

My question is how long before someone hacks into the system or have they already considered that?
