But, since Bush rather french kiss them on
the mouth or Melon Head prostate himself
in front of them, we are in for a lot more
grief from these creeps...

| Airport body scans breach rights: UN expert | |
| 2010-03-10 | |
Martin has a diplomatic passport so he doesn't get scanned, or searched, or have his baggage searched. Nice that he's thinking occasionally about the 'little people'. "The use of a full body scanner which reveals graphic details of the human body, including the most private parts of it, very easily is a violation of human rights," Scheinin told journalists. "It would be a violation of human rights in respect to everyone, but there are particular sensitivities in respect of women, certain religions, certain cultural backgrounds," he added. Thus channeling his masters in Riyadh ... Scheinin, who was appointed to monitor the impact of anti-terror measures on individual freedoms five years ago, told the UN Human Rights Council that better detection technology could be better for human rights. But the "hasty decision" by several countries to use full body scans following a failed Christmas Day bid by a passenger to explode hidden chemicals on a flight to the United States owed more to "a political response to be seen to 'do something'", he argued. That might be true ... "Full body scanners are a disproportionate intrusion into privacy when measures are not taken to minimise the negative impact on privacy," said Scheinin. The UN rights expert said other handheld devices were available to detect explosives through clothing or a solid wall without the need to harm privacy. If those devices were used as a first stage to detect explosives, more intrusive measures would then be legitimate to examine suspects, Scheinin suggested. Better yet, question every person and hand-search every item of luggage. | |

| #10 I'm sure the U.N. would carefully explain to you Cornsilk Blonde that you should respect different cultures which are, after all, equal to our own in all respects - and the fact that Islam is a religion of Peace and this is they way they honor you.... And you should simply consent to be treated like cattle, raped, and stoned... Which is why the U.N. is an evil organization. |

| #9 Or just do like the Chi-com after 9/11, just don't allow long nosed men wearing women's dresses on board... But, since Bush rather french kiss them on the mouth or Melon Head prostate himself in front of them, we are in for a lot more grief from these creeps... |

| #8 I suggest that full-body scanners may not be necessary. Simply present each passenger with a page of Mohammad cartoons and do a full-body search on any who squeal like a pig. |

| #5 Speaking as a woman, I get offended by people who think they have the right to treat me as property that cannot be let out of the house without a male escort, and think if I do, that I have no reason to object to being raped and/or killed. Can you get to work on that immediately, Herr Scheinin? |

| #3 Same mentality as the idiot who stated that he wouldnt allow his son through scanners as an invasion of privacy and violation of rights , yet would allow him on to an unchecked plane with unchecked passengers The mind truely boggles at HR mentaility As for the two muslim women who refused , one on medical grounds .. The medical grounds were probably that they were in fact a man . |

| #2 Mass murder of course isn't.... Do you really think some guy who gets to look at full body scans for hours is going to get excited? After the first day - the playmate of the month would probably only get a passing glance.... |

| #1 "The use of a full body scanner which reveals graphic details of the human body, including the most private parts of it, very easily is a violation of human rights," As opposed to a strip search? |
