When in the USA they used these body scanners, Cristina's government said that there was a violation of human rights, but now, this same government wants this body scanner to be used at Ezeiza Airport haha.

Michael Chertoff is laughing his ass off.

Chertoff is a former homeland security secretary and the founder of the Chertoff Group, a security consulting firm whose clients include manufacturers of full-body scanners.

Chertoff to the Government of Argentina: Thank you for your business, and You're welcome!

Boycott planes, I invite everyone to never travel again by “PLANE”, because, it pollutes, it pushes people into perverts hands and it's targeted by terrorits, besides if they treat people like criminals they better look for some other way to travel no violation of my body is going to take place with my consent, and if you let them search you like a criminal maybe you deserve to die since you have given up your rights you are no longer protected by them.

The problem is not the scanner. The issue is that somebody can post those pictures on any web site

In theory a good idea to help stop criminals but in practice i can't see people liking this at all. I wouldn't like going through one of these.

And i know most women would hate having to go through one of these with some fat old pervert looking at your “naked” body(of sorts).

I would assume TSA USA has forced the use of these scanners worldwide. They may require the scans for Airlines who wish to land in USA without additional security checks. Aerolinas Argentina lost some of their USA landing slots because of lax security but I think they have them back now.

And in the meantime, “terrorists” will find their way, escorted and protected by the same people that produce this dangerous machines!
As this article from The Times suggest:

“The United States prevented Dutch authorities from installing full body scanners before the suspected Christmas Day bomb plotter passed through security at Amsterdam's airport, the Dutch government claimed today. ” Full article here: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/article6971582.ece

Nice dreams everyone!
