Are body scanners mandatory at Charles de Gaulle airport?

Discussing scanners at France is a moot point; as you are not scanned there – unless you left the airport and are then checking in again. I do not believe this to be case here. So really, you have no concern if there are or are not body scanners at CDG as it does not impact the course of your journey.

You will only be scanned once (when you enter the secure zone) at your departure point – which is Spain.

Here is what will happen:

  1. You and your carry on and checked in luggage will be scanned at your departure airport in Spain.
  2. You may be subject a body scan / x-ray at Spain; I cannot recall the last time I was in Spain (two years ago at Malaga) if I was scanned or not.
  3. You will enter the secure departure zone.
  4. On arrival at CDG, you will follow the transit procedures for flights exiting the EU.
  5. Your passport will be checked and stamped – as you are in the secure area already, you are not subject to any further scans.
  6. Simply proceed to your departure gate, board your flight to Japan.
  7. At arrival in Japan, before you collect your luggage, you may be subject to another x-ray scan for yourself and your carry-on luggage.
