Mr Lee Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 Full body scanners I have to wonder just how safe they really are and if we should allow ourselves to be subjected to them. I know that I would opt for a full body search before going into one of those. How many of you will allow those to be used on you? I guess I wonder how long before it will be used in the Philippines, Korea and other countries where freedom of choice to go in or no will not be given and it will be mandatory.The technology is by no means new, and the Transportation Security Administrations has been using similar technology for years, but only on a very limited basis. Since the first of these machines made it to an airport, the TSA has been very vocal about telling the traveling public that they are 100% safe, and that we have nothing to worry about. Except for the risk of too much exposure to ionizing radiation that is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next we will be told they are "safe" as living under High Voltage power lines and Micowave, mobile phone, masts when used and maintained properly..... :no: "When I were a lad"...our family transport was a horse and trap.

Travis Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 I won't fly. I'm already where I want to be.. I too envy your resolve but I cannot say with finality that I will never fly again cuz I would hate to eat my words & have learned to at least try to never use finalities cuz times change & we have to go with the flow but I am here to stay also baring any unforeseen circumstances.
