London: There's some good news for flyers reluctant to face full-body scanners at airports - X-ray proof underwear.
Developed by Steve Bradshaw from Britain, the special underwear and vests are covered with a special paint made from a mixture of metals and glass.
Bradshaw, 54, claims the coating he has developed conceals body parts but reveals dangerous objects such as guns, knives and explosives.
He was inspired to innovate after extensive questioning by airport police at the Manchester Airport forced him to miss a flight earlier this year. He had refused to be put through a full body scanner, the Daily Mail reported.
Bradshaw said, "I ended up making a coating which is a printable plastic ink. It reflects back and scatters the X-rays and is printed in a pattern. Small cut-outs in the design allow a large metal object or gun to show up the operator's screen."
Bradhaw has written to the Department of Transport asking for permission to test his underwear with a full body scanner.
