Full-body scans rolled out at all Australian international airports after trial
Found on Herald Sun on Monday, 06 February 2012
Passengers at airports across Australia will be forced to undergo full-body scans or be banned from flying under new laws to be introduced into Federal Parliament this week.
The "no scan, no fly" amendment closes a loophole in the legislation, which allows passengers to request a pat-down instead of having to pass through a metal detector.
Transport Minister Anthony Albanese said mandatory body scans were necessary to ensure the safety of airports.
Hello Australia and welcome on my blacklist, right under the US. With a single attack over 10 years ago, the world has been put into a state of "don't ask, do what we say" mentality where you are considered a potential terrorist just for questioning the methods. Well, not the whole world. Actually nations which do have to deal with terrorism as a daily business don't use them while nations who tried to monitor their citizens before do. In a twisted way, a few new attacks not involving anything airport related could expose the uselessness of those fake security measures.
