< http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk....scanner >QUOTE Airport worker given police warning for 'misusing' body scanner Man, 25, issued with harassment warning after allegedly taking photo of a female colleague at Heathrow ... The BAA employee took a photo of his co-worker, Jo Margetson, when she inadvertently went through a scanner. "I can't bear to think about the body scanner thing," she told the Sun. "I'm totally traumatised. I've spoken to the police about it. I'm in too much of a state to go to work." Poor thing. Of course, the rest of us just have to suck it up, right?

QUOTE "Air passengers already tolerate a large invasion of their privacy and we do not feel that full-body scanners add greatly to this situation. Privacy concerns should not prevent the deployment of scanners." Fuck you, buddy. Posted by thibodeaux on Mar. 26 2010,06:26
I believe that's called the "slippery slope," "thin end of the wedge," "camels nose," etc.

The camel's nose was long long ago. We're well past the shoulders now.

QUOTE "Having witnessed these full-body scanners working at first-hand, we are confident that the privacy concerns that have been expressed in relation to these devices are overstated and that full-body scanners are no more an invasion of privacy than manual "pat-downs" or searches of bags," the committee said. Their security folk must have x-ray vision. Posted by GORDON on Mar. 26 2010,09:58
Are they suggesting I can pat down any woman I want without breaking any laws?

Let's see all the lawmakers that voted for these monstrosities have to walk through one each & every day on their way to work. Because, you know, you can't sacrifice security at critical levels of government. & staffed by the same fuckwit incompetents at your standard airport.
