Last week’s attacks in India have reminded us all of the keen danger that terrorism poses. But one tool that was to be employed at airports to combat terrorism, those body scanners that sometimes reveal a person’s, well, person, came under criticism. Fighting terror (inasmuch as you can fight it) is great and all, but should people literally be exposed in the process? The Germans say no, and are developing a body scanner that, while it does its job (detecting weapons and so forth), doesn’t show off your nude body to the leering airport screeners.
The new scanner will undergo proper laboratory tests this week.
The full-on “naked scanner” is already in use in other European countries such as the Netherlands.
Also, Germany-Netherlands make a fine football rivalry. Three cheers for random, tangentially related information!
Pop the topic of that old game and i still see the friends in my clan fight over again ;)
Security in India is the worst. Do you know that the Intelligence had reports of the same 24 hrs before ?. They considered it low profile . Bloody fags. Had friends of mine dining near the Taj who literally Ran leaving everything behind. I cant imagine it . And the Commandos reach the place a 10 hour late that too with rifles dating back to ‘65. Its terrible .
And if you are going to deploy one of this kind in here , there will be protests against it dragging cultural issues into it.
