    Just wanted to say that while what this guy is alleged to have done is fairly bad, the fact the full body scanners exist and are in airports in the first place is appalling.

    As has been said many times before about all the other violations of rights and privacy due to airline and airport security, if they’ve got us doing this kind of thing, the terrorists have won.

      I am in agreement, but I don’t think it is the terrorists who have won, I think it is the security companies that have made us think that we need this technology.

      Former head of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff heads The Chertoff Group, a security risk-management firm. Their clients include a manufacturer of body scanning machines.

      There is a lot of profit in fear.

    Thanks Jo – after considering the information on the press complaints website, we decided to pull the story. Unfortunately, inaccuracies tend to spread when major publishers fail to attribute or falsely attribute their sources.
