Jo Margetson plans to sue the authorities concerned and spent Wednesday in talks with Heathrow owner BAA, The Sun reported.
She has spoken to lawyers at a civil rights group amid allegations that her privacy and human rights were violated.
The Sun reported Wednesday that 25-year-old security guard John Laker took a picture of Margetson's breasts when she walked into the X-ray machine by mistake.
The anti-terror machine creates "nude" images of passengers to find hidden weapons.
He then passed a lewd comment on her "gigantic t**s".
"She feels humiliated by what happened. BAA have to make assurances they are taking this seriously and it won't happen again," a friend of Margetson was quoted as saying.
There has now been a demand for stringent controls of the scanners that were introduced after the failed Christmas Day bombing attemp by hiding explosives in the underpants.
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a 23-year-old Nigerian man, has been charged with trying to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas Day. He claims he obtained explosive chemicals and a syringe that were sewn into his underwear from a bomb expert in Yemen associated with Al Qaeda.
