So, I figured I would start off posting today with dipping into the news. I've picked an article, and it can be found by following the link below:
The article is about the installation of Full-body scanners at airports, that take a picture/x-ray of a person, and any objects hidden under the clothes can be seen. This has caused a lot of controversy, as the x-ray of the person is naked, and you don't know who could be looking at the photo, as the person looking at it is in a different room.
Now, onto my opinion. Would you rather these machines not be installed and your plane has a higher chance of being part of a terrorist attack? Would you like to take the risk of never seeing your loved ones ever again? Apparently people do because they're protesting these scanners heavily, despite the fact it could save their lives. The main objection is that the x-ray technically shows the person naked, but doesn't ANY x-ray? Sure, it may be your wrist or your leg and not your entire body, but it's the same principle. And why would you really fear that you don't know what the person could be doing whilst looking at your photo? They're instantly destroyed after being looked at, and I should imagine it is some kind of automated program that does so. The person examining the photo never looks at you yourself, so if you really think they're going to get 'freaky-deaky' over some weirdly coloured photo, then you yourself must be extremely disturbed.
