So, apparently, various airports in Europe and Australia have been/will be testing these new 3D scanners, which basically scan through your clothing and create a nude image of your whole body. This is said to help find explosives and knives not being detected by current scanning technology.
I am kind of shocked by these pictures because I doubt that the added security is in any justifiable relationship to the massive loss of privacy/dignity. Although they currently say that it is still in testing stages and they won't force any passenger to use these whole body scans, I still am worried about the future application of this method. Who knows what will be next?

They probably still won't even notice it anyway.

So what? An x-ray image of your skeleton is disturbing, too.
Honestly, I wouldn´t mind and I certainly wouldn´t lose my dignity. As long as they don´t save these pictures, I am fine with it.

"Good morning ma'am. Congratulations, you have been selected for our randomly-selected security checkup of the day and we would like to have someone other than an Arab for once. All you have to do is step through this scanner. Simple as that. We recommend you follow through with this test. After all, if you have nothing to hide, why refuse?"

Yeah read it today, too, but i don't think its that bad. I even think they should get mobile devices (in a bus or so), like they have in great britain.
There are large polices controls at clubs from time to time, where you might have to strip naked in front of the police in their van in order for them to control if you are hiding drugs. I never neither got into one of these controls yet, nor did i ever see someone selling drugs in the clubs i am going to, so i don't think it is an issue in my area. But in other areas its much more common. In England they now use those nude body scanners to search everyone for drugs/weapons at such a razzia, which isn't such a massive infriction of privacy as the alternative. And it is also much faster.

Wow that's pretty weird.
Fuck how am I going to hide my bombs, guns, and knives now?!
|
Damn, think of all the rancid nudes they must witness during the day...
