A top surgeon has alleged he was the victim of 'racial triaging' at Manchester Airport security when he was asked to queue for the body scanner while a string of white travellers were waved through an archway metal detector.
Professor Aali Sheen, 51, said: "It was racist. It was clear racial triaging."
Manchester Airport has investigated the allegations and concluded the doctor and his family were directed to the body scanner by its official to 'adhere to the requisite ratio of body scanner and metal detector usage' required by government policy. A spokesman said: "All policies and procedures... were followed."
