It’s gonna be a damn inconvenience, but if it prevents me from getting blown up, I’m ll for it. Worrrrrd !!!
@ agnes – except that it won’t prevent you from getting blown up – God forbid!
It’s nothing to do with the blue peter bomber, they were already planning this and now have a “legitimate” reason to shove it upon us. The plan for this intrusive contraption was leaked a few weeks ago!
That was quick.
Taxpayers’ money at work…
These people and thier agenda, TY I feel ya anger bro lol.
This is the Hegelian Dialectic of Problem, Reaction, Solution and the sucker public fall for it every single time, signing over more of their rights and liberties in exchange for more bondage and slavery. Is the general public so zoned out that they cannot see a convenient set up when it slams them in the face?
The next stage is the taser braclets……yes you read correctly, taser braclets which zapp you if you get out of line anytime between putting them on and taking them off at the end of your flight. Don’t believe me, check this out.

They say it would be used for hijack situations. Anyone who believes this is a true sucker. They’ll zapp you for asking for a knive and folk and not eating with your hands, any excuse will do.
don’t like this at all!
Body Scanning at Airports
The total body scanning that has recently commenced at some UK airports
is an issue many people ( no matter what race or culture or religion
they belong to)are uncomfortable with.
There are differences between man and other creations:
The superiority and honor that God almighty has given to man is seen
in many things, for example;
* Man’s intellectual superiority over others, enabling him to do things
which others are unable to do, such as learning the various sciences
and applying this knowledge for technological development.
* Submission of other creations for man, including the sun as a source
of heat and electricity, the moon as a source of light, the stars as
navigational tools and the earth for farming and building places for
residence.
* Man’s ability to reason and being able to distinguish between right
and wrong, between health and sickness and between what is beneficial
and harmful etc.
All of the above qualities, however, can be attributed to other living
creations even though these may be of a much lesser degree compared to
man.
But two attributes of man are unique and not given to any other
creation:
a. Speech.
b. Covering the body with a garment or dress.
Covering the private area of the body and its importance is connected
with an instinctual characteristic of human beings (i.e. Shame or
Shyness) which does not require any book or law, rather everyone
recognizes this by default.
Is there a case of necessity?
Without any doubt the answer is no, for the following reasons;
1. To this date, there has not been a confirmed case of explosives
being carried in clothing other than the recent one on an American
flight, the reliability of which is yet to be fully established to make
a case of necessity.
2. Body scanning has been used on American and other airports with a
huge cost and high failure rate.
3. No aircraft has ever been destroyed by someone carrying explosives
in his clothing.
4. As for the recent case that took place on an American flight, the
American president himself, accepted the responsibility of his
intelligence agency in that they possessed all the information and yet
failed to take the right action in time. This clearly shows that
intelligence is sufficient and far superior as a tool to prevent this
kind of incident than a need to see people naked on mere suspicion.
Uncovering some one’s body against his or her will is a an immoral
and shameful act.
Without committing any crime we will become virtually prisoners of this country – no exit from airports = no non Uk holidays no quality leisure time etc, if we refuse to use the scanner.
Which political party will make available alternative measures if they gain power at the General Election?
