Agreed Infidel ('apt' name by the way!
), but then it's gonna be 'you're violating my human rights by insisting on me being scanned'.Sponsored Links

Agreed. Noone is forcing them to fly - there are other modes of transport available (most of which are "greener" too).

I can't help thinking that we (the western world) are the masters of our own destiny.
Just like in all conflict, each side is trying to outdo the other. The result of which produces more elaborate ways around our deterrents.
Fanatics are a determined enemy and not afraid to die.
Scary.
There will come a time when the West will not have enough 'energy' to deter fanatics.

Or, as those who refuse to go through the scanner clearly don't want to assimilate, then segregate them so there are muslim and non muslim flights. Obviously, any extra costs involved should be passed onto those who do not want to go through the scanner, so that if for example a single person who is happy to be scanned wishes to travel, then the others pay for his/her private chartered flight.
I don't care if some underpaid security guard examines my clockweights from a darkened room behind the luggage carousel.
But then, I don't think blokes are really that self-conscious... we think nothing of standing shoulder-to-shoulder at urinals, whereas a lot of women won't even shower together (no matter how much I beg and plead).
Until they ensure same-sex viewing and develop processes to guarantee no voyeurism is occurring, I can thoroughly appreciate the view of anyone who is against it.
However, like many parts of modern life that we take for granted, flying is NOT a human right nor is it the absolute only way in which a destination can be reached. It's just easy and relatively cheap, is all.
The problem I have with the new scanners is that many see it as a "silver bullet" to prevent things being smuggled onto planes. mmW systems should be, at best, part of a much larger security process.
