people are happy with body scanners.

Nine out of 10 British people are happy to use full-body scanners being rolled out at UK airports, a survey suggests.

The poll of 10,000 people, including 977 Britons, by IT firm Unisys, found acceptance of the scanners was highest in the UK out of the 11 countries.

One in three surveyed in Germany and Belgium objected, and only 45% in Hong Kong and 24% in Mexico were in favour.

There has been some criticism of the scanners over privacy, as they produce body-length "unclothed" images.

The survey also found 91% of the Britons asked would be happy to provide biometric data - such as iris scans and fingerprints - to identify them at airports.

Vice-president of global security solutions at Unisys Neil Fisher said: "With airport operator BAA also reporting positive responses to the full-body scanners, it appears that the early controversy surrounding the technology has died down and people are taking a pragmatic approach to their safety.

"The question is has the country done enough to subvert another terrorist plot?

"What we have done so far is react to threats as they occur, rather than take an holistic view of the threat."

The survey involved people from Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Germany, Hong Kong, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, the UK and the US.


what the report doesn,t tell you is the survey was conducted of people coming back from nudist beaches in spain.
remember part truths are satans lies.
please note the nudist beaches is a satire,but always have knowledge how people can manipulate others easily.

What has so terrified the British people that they are so willing to give up their liberty for the illusion of security? Security does not come from giving up your liberty, but from giving up your bondage.

Last night on a current affairs show they showed an academic from The University of Reading who had inserted a microchip in his hand. He could open his science lab etc just by waving his hand across this receiver (?) He then put a virus into his chip to see what would happen and it infected all the computers in the building. There was this other man I cant remember where he was from who had the same sort of microchip and he said he loved it because he no longer had to worry about the keys to his house, car etc.
What are they going to do with this technology?
