When I first heard the news about a terrorist, with bomb material, on an airplane, I was not surprised.
The reason that I wasn't surprised, is because I had come across an article, or two, which touched on this very subject (sort of). The articles talked about a possible false flag terrorist attack in the month of December 2009, which would be implemented around the holiday. Well, with this bomb threat happening on December 25th, 2009, I would say that the people, who wrote these articles, may have had some inside information, which the general public wasn't privy to, and they were trying to give the general public a warning.
Now, with that said, we are now going through the process of having more of our personal rights invaded at the airports, with the installation of 150 Full Body Virtual Nude X-ray scanners, coming to an airport near you in the near future, which will be paid for by the American tax payers, to the tune of $170,000 for each body scanner. $170,000 X 150=$25,500,000, if my calculation is correct.
Another issue that I have with these scanners is that I am wondering how safe these x-ray machines will be for the Frequent fliers. How will those scanners affect their health, in the long run?
These x-ray scanners, which strip away your clothing and show an image of your virtual naked body to the person who is scanning you, is an invasion of your personal privacy, regardless of whether or not the image looks exactly like your nude body.
The fact is that Amsterdam was flat footed with their own airport security, which allowed Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, to board flight 253, with bomb material hidden in his underwear.
I included an image for you to view, so that you can see what a person's scanned body image will look like, to the person who is scanning your body.
The question is, "Are you okay with a stranger looking at your naked scanned image, or not?" If you are okay with that, then I say Fine, but then my next question to you is, "When will you start to object?"
The full body scanner does not detect anything that has been hidden in the body internally, so the next security measure would then be to do a full body cavity search. So then my next question is, "Will you be okay with having to get a full body cavity search before you will be allowed to board the plane?" For me that would definitely not be okay, and I am also against the Full Body Scanners. I refuse to let fear control my judgment.
The reason that the U.S. is getting more and more terror threats is because of the U.S. having Soldiers and Military bases over in the middle east. There are pictures floating on the net, which shows you what other things have been going on over there, which doesn't seem to have anything to do with 911.
I am hoping that more and more U.S. citizens will become more aware, and wake up, to the real truth, and refuse to be treated like a criminal, especially if you aren't a real threat to security, in the first place. Don't go blindly into the night, instead you must open your eyes to see the light.
The video, which I included, discusses how certain security measures should have been implemented back in 2006, when an investigation had been done involving airport security on foreign soil.
Do you think that more should be done abroad, or should the U.S. airports add more security measures?
