    Idiots proposed this kind of thing years ago; it was denounced as “both inappropriate and unethical to take radiographs of people when there is no health benefit for them”; and even the Home Office called it “unethical”.

    It should also be remembered that the reason the UK has immigration restrictions at all was to keep out Jewish people fleeing persecution. It has always been about bigotry.
