Full-body scanners are devices used in some airports to ensure that passengers are not carrying prohibited items aboard the aircraft. A passenger stands in front of the scanner with his/her arms extended over the head, with fingers touching. Security personnel review a digital image of the passenger and check for objects that are not permitted aboard the flight. 4, record 1, English, - full%2Dbody%20scanner

Certains aéroports utilisent le scanner corporel pour vérifier que les passagers ne transportent pas d'articles interdits à bord de l'avion. Le passager entre dans le scanner et s'y tient debout, gardant les bras au-dessus de la tête et se touchant le bout des doigts. Le personnel de sécurité examine l'image numérisée du passager pour vérifier qu'il ne transporte pas d'articles interdits. 3, record 1, French, - scanner%20corporel
