Petition Against Body Scanners

Robin | 11.01.2010 10:55 | Health | Technology | Terror War | World

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to halt the installment of body scanners in airports.

This petition is an effort to block the nationwide implementation of full body scanners that represent a total violation of privacy, a health risk, and tyranny. Forcing people to pose for naked photos is a crime. If the government does this it will be a criminal government. If the body scanners are allowed to be implemented travelers will be forced to do worse things under the threat of being treated as a terrorist if they refuse the violation of their dignity and freedom. Professors of Molecular and Cell Biology maintain that there is no safe dose of ionizing radiation. In addition to these issues, full body scanners would not even have stopped the Christmas Day bomber from boarding Flight 253, according to a British MP who helped design the machines. “I must advise the Prime Minister – and the British public – that the scanners are not a “silver bullet,” said Ben Wallace, who worked on the scanners at defense research organization QinetiQ. “You would be mistaken to think that they would counter the new threat.”

would be better way of stopping the increase in air traffic & nightmares for any low paid decent security staff having to worry about al queda or black false flag ops.
If it can be proven to be safe, its a good idea, in a anarchist society if security was run by democratic workers I wouldnt have a problem with it if there was a threat by fascists or terrorists. The oligarchy we live under though often overides democracy just for the sake of power, so we are right to question it,
if it brings up the price of ancient combustion engine air travel though I say bring it on

Being a busy mum this is the first time ive looked into the issue and was astonished that protest airport scanner does not come up in google search terms? how are we letting this go? when through trawling the internet i finally found your petion i was gobsmacked to see only 50 signitures? my area of concern is kids (let alone radiation health issues) they already violate child pornography laws yeah right images will be destroyed what about screen shots etc anyone could end up working in security. Also the issue of annonymity however all our passports now have taggs in! which can easily be read and linked to your images get a shield for your passport people! spread the word about the petition
