Summary: The complainant requested information from the Department for Transport (the -˜DfT-™) on the use of airport security scanners (-˜scanners-™) at airports in the UK. Specifically, the complainant sought information on whether certain airports had made representations to the DfT on whether an alternative to passing through scanners should be offered to passengers. The complainant also requested information as to the DfT-™s intentions in respect of continuing to use the scanners at Manchester Airport. The Commissioner-™s decision is that the DfT was entitled to refuse the request under section 14(1) of the FOIA on the grounds that it was vexatious. He does not require the DfT to take any further action. Information Tribunal appeal number EA/2012/0184 dismissed.
Section of Act/EIR & Finding: FOI 14 - Complaint Not upheld
