#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?

#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....

#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 .

Note to anyone who objects to body scanners: Don't fly on airlines.

#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?

#6 If I have to be scanned by these devices, I only hope I am standing tall and at attention!

#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.

#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.
