i understand where you are coming from , but that is like saying "forget the speed limit everyone drive however you want, as it is only a small percentage of car owners that will die as a result" then the police would not need to enforce the traffic laws saving us all time and money.:wonder:

Terminator X 27 January 2010 01:39 PM

Best not leave the house Les, safest place to be ...

So now we can add body scanning cameras to the growing list of rules, regulations, Laws, CCTV, speed cameras, ANPR, low ozone cameras etc f'ing etc :razz:

What happens if a person with a turban "beeps" going through an existing scanner?

Do they make him take it off?

Same goes with say a muslim women who is completely covered up?

If I'm wearing a coat I'm make to take it off.
If I'm wearing timberland boots then I'm made to remove them

So - shouldn't the boys with the turban and the covered up woman be made to put some stuff through the scanner?

pull him to one side and do a "controlled explosion" perhaps:Whatever_..... ps its a joke for the benefit of any touchy forum users:)

If any of your family die as a result of these nut jobs on a plane would you not ask why was everything not done to protect them?

These nutters can be on any plane any time, so its unfortunate that every plane has to undergo this, if it means me or any of my family dont die because of these religious fanatics then I'm all for it TBH..

Knowing the UK they will be allowed to pass through aftr a wee pat down because it will be against there rights to remove anything :rolleyes:

Terminator X 27 January 2010 01:58 PM

My point is that the chance of it being you is so small to be almost zero. Flying is already far safer than driving yet you no doubt get in a car every day without worry. I don't worry about "nutters" as there's almost none of them out there vs millions of flights per day.

open the flood gates for intrusive controls is all im saying.

steady on with the comments too gents, theres a lot of blatant racism in some of them coming through, maybe without intent but its still there.



At that rate we 'll need the full body x-ray jobs then !

i think your being absurd regards the prudishness but anyway


its a government that you voted for that partly facilitated this sort fanaticism btw

I think it's more likely to stop Hundred of people being blown-up mid-air.

If one gets away with it, more will follow. If someone you knew was then on a plane that one of these bomber's got on, wouldn't you be asking the Government to do something about it? And why they didn't do something before? They are doing something ..... scanners.

But like I said earlier, It shouldn't be for everyone. But also like I said, that would be discimination, and we can't upset terrorists. They might get angry and try to blow a plane up.

However, I do think it should just be Muslims that have to go through these things. Normal White English families going on Holiday are unlikely to be out to blow the plane up.
I guess doing this would mean discrimination, and that would leave the door open for every Muslim scum to sue the Government.

say what you mean there fella ;)

I agreed with what you said, but actually we didn't "catch" this guy, he was so useless that he failed to make a viable bomb, one which (according to "experts") would not have been detected by these new scanners (at £80,000 a machine) in the first place!

So we are looking at hundreds of millions of people being inconvenienced and an absolute forture being spent for nothing.

Oh, and don't forget, the pants-bomber was on watch-lists, banned from the UK, his Dad told the authorities that he was a wrong-un, he paid a grand and a half for his tickets in cash and boarded the flight without a passport!!!! If security fail to spot so many big red arrows pointing at this nutter, then trusting air safety to a guy watching a nudie-telly shows how incompetant those in charge have become :(

urban 27 January 2010 03:20 PM

Right, speculating further.

What happens if a religious ***** has explosives shoved in an orifice?
Will these new machine spot something?

And if they do, can he(or indeed she) be taken to a room for searching or is that against religion too?

Only if you search them with your left hand

There are two types of machine.
The background scatter machines do use xrays and the millimetre wave ones don't.

TX.

I mark you right.
People on a Subaru website (whom I presume drive a Subaru) worried about the relatively insignificant chance of dying on an air flight.
Shows a large degree of poor risk assessment in my opinion.
Any Volvo chat sites out there:wonder:

We should just have Muslim only flights subsudised by the tax payer but with no security at all just a pasport check.

A large percentage of the nutters are newly converted are they not ?

hardly, its just crossed over into pure racism now if you read the recent comments and to say otherwise is absurd. or some people in this thread can continue to make wild generalisations from a narrow minded standpoint with a weak attempt at justification :rolleyes:

and no i didnt vote for them and never would, or any other party for that matter.

but as i said above, it was all in my opinion anyway.:)

how would they know if you are a muslim or not, would they have a religion test at checkin.

Yes - check-in desk would be "manned" by naked ladies.

pimmo2000 27 January 2010 07:41 PM


"behavioural profiling", which meant spotting passengers who had paid cash, were travelling with only a book for luggage on a long-haul flight or were behaving erratically at the airport.
er... thats not profiling and if they aren't looking for these things already no wonder we're getting blown up.

I am so close to saying something that would get me in trouble :lol1:

Seriously though the comment about "racism"? Now, I don't see many Sheiks trying to blow up planes (they are the ones who wear Turbans by the way......) . Simple statement of fact people; the current major Terrorist threat against Westerners comes from Muslim males aged between 18 and 35.

The sooner we stop titting around worrying about "upsetting peoples feelings" and worry more about people getting blown up, the better.

Your rights as an individual are nothing compared to wider societies right to live in safety.
