This is all in light of the latest alleged botched bombing.. so yes, very much targeting and profiling Muslims!
 
i dont know i travel all the time and other then london heathrow its really not that bad. (sorry dont mean nothing bad about london but the airport staff sucks) but its like that x-ray machine shows anything. it just shows a gray outline. granted not what i want either but the face is the same. i sort of think it would be nice then i dont have to wait for 900 people to take off their belt and shoes and hat and watch and blah blah blah because they cant do it while they wait in line. sorry that irks me. everything should be done by the time people get to the machines. thats why we have carry on.
 
They are not yet implemented but they will be, x rays show your bones and fat shadows and calcified areas, this will actually show your private anatomy!
and it will be in conjunction with the shoe taking off and watches etc..

so it won't be less of a hassle but more with humiliation!

Sister :sl:


I think you are not youselves today :).

These scanners though we may think are useless , these have been brought into use because of some idiots who tried to blow up planes.We are paying the price for some idiots decision :|. Anyway , Although i think there will be pervs everywhere lets just hope we wont have to go through this
 
You can see example images on google. They aren't colour and you can only make out outlines. It might be amusing for the guy watching the first few times but there's only so much amusement to be derived from blue outlines; it'll be boring for them after the first 10 or so people.

If its a necessity in order to stop planes getting blown up then you have to just accept it. The pictures are not kept and are not taken in a sexual context. As for child porn... well how can it be child porn if there is no porn? So kids playing naked on the beach is ok but whoa don't you dare take a blue-ish outline of their bodies for a few seconds to potentially save a plane full of people :s

I would have thought a strip search or pat down was more intrusive. At least this way nobody has their hands all over you... or "the glove".

:sl: Gossamer, wow your post counts are sky high in just an instant. I remember when entering this forum after a few days I saw someone congratulate you for your 10000 posts, now it has reach to 10000++ in just a few months......

Back on topic, I don't really mind this body scanners. I mean how could they be one when the person who is checking up on you is a male/female?As far as I'm concern, the airport always "checks" people for drugs/knife/etc but they usually do it by a male/female basis. So I don't think this is a pretty bad idea unless the person who's checking on you are in love with their own gender
 
Nabiel you are welcome to half my posts.. I have been on board since 2006 as you can see, making such an accumulation in the span of four years!

all the best

you don't need color to see anatomy.. you can google the images for body scans to see what they'll see, I'll not post them here personally for failure to do a simple google search! as for how it can be in violation of child porn, again, not a law or a statement of my own making:

you may read all about it here:

all the best!
 
Even if we fly naked, we still wouldn't be 100% safe from attacks. So I think it is a waste and I think it is only going to cause more problems for airlines because people have already stated they won't fly if they have to go through this.

Why bother to spend the money to implement it in the first place then? If they suspected someone to have something on them, they would usually pull them to the side and do a thorough search anyways. :hmm:
 
I know how u feel sis Gossamer. And can you believe what egypt is doing? Making an underground steel wall so the palestinians don't "smuggle." HELLO, why else do they smuggle?! Complete nutjobs :raging:

I know sister.. it is what I mean by not just kowtowing to injustice but approving of it.. I am so fearful of the day we have to account for all of this, the real insult to injury is how we justify it to ourselves so we can feel or cope better!
 
^ what can we do though? we cant spend our whole life protesting and getting nowhere. i guess we should at least try...
 
There are things that as individuals can do even though it might seem trifle.. as stated for instance boycotting danish products really proved fatal to their economy, we can try with charity and of course our prayers which at times is all we seem to possess!

:w:

Indeed politics of world are very complex and a simple demonstration can never help. All that matters in these days is money and army.

All we can do is help fellow bros , sisters and hope Allah gets them into a better situation :)
 
I'm never gonna fly again, only when I'm gonna leave this country for good
 
Spare a thought for the muslim women that want to keep there modesty. Haveing our body shape being seen by a none muslim.
