Justin Smith Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Today's news includes: Nudie airport scanner abuse Police tell internet cafe owners to spy on customers Exploding boobies and bums I don't care. I want my life to be my life. I'll accept the 'threats' of Muslim takeover or 747's dropping out of the sky onto a puppy school. I don't want intrusion, interference, monitoring, restriction, mistrust, paranoia, suspicion of me and my neighbour. How about you? Time for a change? The considered response to this, and, in fact, every Health & Safety edict as well, should be : Exactly how much safer does it make me ? And what am I sacrificing to achieve that ? As far as those humiliating airport scanners go, they do not pass that test, not by a million miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 Dunno, what about them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky3 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Dunno, what about them? At least the scanners will stop them from being coerced and those who just do it for the money. e.g. Drug trafficking. When will they start using them in prisons is my next question...

Darth Vader Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I'm all for extra security measures to protect life, if they are proven to work, BUT I'm not for these 'terrorist prevention' measures being abused for government's own ends, like chucking harmless old men out of political party conferences.

Halibut Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Will it stop them? I see no reason to believe that that's the case. The famous 'nude' scanners might spot a packet of smack in your Y-fronts, but they won't spot one in your colon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
