Islam In Action:Muslim woman refuses body-scan at British airport
A Muslim woman was barred from boarding a flight after she refused to undergo a full body scan for religious reasons.

She was warned that she would be stopped from boarding the plane but she decided to forfeit her ticket to Pakistan rather than submit to the scan. Her female travelling companion also declined to step into the scanner, citing “medical reasons” for her refusal.
