Full body scanners will be used at Brisbane Airport’s international terminal from September and passengers who refuse the security check will be prohibited from flying.
Brisbane Airport Corporation says it will begin trialling the scanners and training staff in August.
Two scanners will be operational from September, and another six will be rolled out by May 2013.
“Not everyone will be scanned and the process will be random, like the current explosive security checks,” a Brisbane Airport spokeswoman told AAP on Thursday.
The scanners will be used at international airports around Australia under new federal government security requirements.
