| Muslim woman barred from flight after refusing body scan |
| 2010-03-03 |
| Will be interesting to see how this pans out. No doubt a human rights whine-fest or legal action is already in the pipeline. A Muslim woman is thought to have become the first passenger to be stopped from boarding a flight after refusing to go through a full body scanner for religious reasons. The passenger was at Manchester Airport for a flight to Islamabad when she was selected at random 'Random'? She should have been put through as a matter of course. to pass through the security screen. She was warned she would not be allowed to board the Pakistan International Airlines flight if she did not comply with the request but she decided to forfeit her ticket. Her female travelling companion also left the airport after she cited ''medical reasons'' for not wanting to go through the scanner. More than 15,000 people have already passed through the £80,000 Rapiscan machine at the airport's Terminal 2. The Government introduced the scanner at Heathrow and Manchester airports last month. Security staff use the X-ray machine to check for any concealed weapons or explosives but it has attracted criticism for also showing clear outlines of passengers' genitals. Civil liberties campaigners have criticised the scanners as an invasion of privacy. Sources at Manchester Airport said the flight to Pakistan about two weeks ago was busy and that no other passengers objected when chosen to go through the full body scanner after check-in. The female passenger who declined on medical grounds was said to be concerned because she had an infection. Uh... riiight... It is understood the women may be the first passengers in the UK to be barred from taking a flight after refusing to submit to the scan. Heathrow Airport said it could not comment on individual cases. A Manchester Airport spokeswoman said: ''Two female passengers who were booked to fly out of Terminal 2 refused to be scanned for medical and religious reasons. Not the first time 'Islam' has been likened to an infection. Possibly the first time a Muslim has said been reported as saying so though. "In accordance with the Government directive on scanners, they were not permitted to fly. Body scanning is a big change for customers who are selected under the new rules and we are aware that privacy concerns are on our customers' minds, which is why we have put strict procedures to reassure them that their privacy will be protected." Last month, Transport Secretary Lord Adonis stressed that an interim code of practice on the use of body scanners stipulated that passengers would not be selected "on the basis of personal characteristics". Morons. Dangerous morons. He stressed that images captured by body scanners are immediately deleted after the passenger has gone through and that security staff are appropriately trained and supervised. |

| #8 For a long time after 9/11, all Chinese Airlines refused to board men wearing women's dresses... Of course their leaders did not kiss saudis full on the mouth or bow to their king... |

| #7 Someone needs to tell these muzzie ladies that the reason the scanners had to be installed was because of muzzie terrorists. That's the whole point. If muzzies don't like it, they can refuse to travel which would make the rest of us feel a whole lot safer |

| #4 One can refuse to go through a scanner at an American airport for selected reasons. One then has a pat-down search and is questioned by a TSA worker. If there is a medical reason why one can't go through the scanner, no problem, I understand that. If there's a religious reason, then don't fly. |

| #3 Refusing the scan should be considered probable cause to suspect possession of contraband or explosives. A strip search should have been the next step, followed by water boarding if the suspicions proved to be true. Oh, BTW, clean up on aisle #2. |

| #1 Good. Especially since Al Qaeda is training female suicide bombers and sending them out to the West. Refusing to be scanned "due to medical reasons" regarding the second female passenger, I believe those women should be investigated as possible terrorists. |
