'Naked' scanner in airport trial

[Invent]

I agree with scanners, but not scanners such as these, the databases, criminal records for small offences, people being fined for leaving wheelie bins out a day too late, CCTV being rampant everywhere - this is treating us like criminals.

No it's not .

[Blinger1]

Imagine if someone was trying to hide an erection as well >_<

I doubt we have more crime than the Peoples Republic of China who have a population of 1.3+ billion, if we do however that only shows that CCTV culture is failing if anything.

our crime rate is high, not the population :S

and no, they arent treating us like criminals... unless you have something to hide

and LMAO blinger.. walking in but cant really fit it... tryna poke it down LOL!

No they are not. They are protecting us for the years to come. Like Jordy mentioned if that guy wasn't on records he wouldn't have been caught, justice wouldn't have happened. We are in 2009 so you must have to get used to the "Technology" you have to get used to the records. It's not doing me any harm? Unless they used the CCTV and these scanners illegally then fine but I hardly doubt they are.

I don't see the problem with it myself.. It saves time

[Grippz]

Don't have a problem with this method of security. I would rather be safe in the knowledge of not being blown up on a plane other than worrying about someone being able to see an outline of my willy

[clarissa !!]

dont know why anyone cares unless they have something to hide, its not like theyre gonna broadcast the images to the entire airport. only one person will see them and they wont even know who you are..

well it's an invasion of privacy no matter how you look at it, the article says you can refuse to go through it so you have a choice if you'd rather me "felt up", personally i wouldn't mind it's over in a few seconds

Yeah I would rather go through this scanner than be felt up... 2 weeks ago I was felt up by this black officer.. she was mean...

Thats all you have to say?

our crime rate is high, not the population :S

I'm afraid treating people like suspected criminals is treating people like they are criminals, there are no two ways about it.

No they are not. They are protecting us for the years to come. Like Jordy mentioned if that guy wasn't on records he wouldn't have been caught, justice wouldn't have happened.

The technology argument does not win, just because we are in 2009 does not mean we should all have our DNA/fingerprints taken, our every move monitored and people spied upon by councils. Technology has been advancing for years, it does not mean you have to abolish democracy.
