Scanner Controversy Grows

February 17th 2010 18:20
It seems that there is a rising uproar over the use of full-body scanners at airports. We are seeing a protest by various groups. This even though we have been warned about an
imminent attack. It really makes no sense since you can refuse the scanner if you would rather be patted down by a TSA agent.

Lets face it, if it walks, swims and quacks like a duck, it's a duck. Yet we feel a need to not offend anybody and therefore cannot say that a particular group of fanatics tends to do us harm. So let's go to the land of of political correctness...


America's equivalent to the ACLU is saying that body scanners are unlawful.

We can see that there is a growing number of controversy regarding these scanners. There is something brewing to get rid of a useful weapon in the fight against terror. Even if you disagree with my assessment, you must see the irony to all this!

I disagreed to the body scanners because of various other reasons, but one must overlook the violations to avoid a fanatical attack. From the article:
...the commission then said it was concerned especially for the privacy of certain groups such as disabled people, the elderly, children and the transgendered community.
You might notice how a 'certain' fanatical group isn't mentioned?
