Are electronic strip searches pornographic? That concern is stopping or slowing the introduction of strip search machines in Europe, according to a report on the NY Times: |

|
Here are some other questions to think about: 1. Are the people operating the machines going to be trained medical personnel who have a professional attitude toward viewing the bodies of others? (No) 2. What happens if the inherent radiation on the x-ray style machines gives an overdose? Will anyone compensate you if you get cancer? (No) 3. What level of radiation with those operating the machines get, day after day, month after month? Will they die of cancer? 4. There are laws in every American states about indecent exposure. Why is a man or woman being seen through a machine not also indecent? Who is responsible if people and children see exposed images they do not wish to view? Can the person passing through the machine be held responsible? 5. Who is going to guarantee that movie stars or other well known people never have their privacy violated further by having images distributed to others? (No one) 6. If Americans become accustomed to electronic strip searches, what’s next? Is there no end? (There is no end. Anything that can be imagined, and turned into a profitable machine or otherwise sold in the name of security, can be added on top of everything that is already being done.) 6. The failure to catch the pants bomber was mainly one of intelligence, specifically the mishandling of available warnings. Why crack down on passengers when the failure was elsewhere? (Because that is all we know to do? Plus, each potential terrorist incident is used to increase barriers at the airports. In other words, these incidents are leveraged for the advantage of those who work in and run the security industrial complex.) 1.6.10 |
