"Mr President, I cannot accept any new anti-terrorism measures until the Commission has carried out a thorough review of all existing anti-terrorism legislation and investigated whether it is cost-effective and proportional and whether it protects privacy, health and the economy.
Let us not deceive ourselves into believing that we can protect privacy. With this technology, an image is taken that is then processed. The image must be stored in order for it to be processed. There is therefore always a risk that the image will fall into the wrong hands. As regards effectiveness, people can hide things in their mouths, and there are numerous other ways to circumvent the technology. Only the passive system can be considered safe from the point of view of health. It is good that we are abolishing the rules for liquids, but it is ridiculous to believe that we have any security whatsoever at airports when everything that is needed to make a bomb can be taken in a medicine bag and the rest of the ingredients can be bought in the duty-free shops. It would only be secure if people collected duty-free goods when they landed instead.
The terrorists will not stop here, even if the technology were to work. The greatest effect with the least risk would mean that they would then move on to boats, trains, underground railways and shopping centres. We will have scanners right from the time we leave the maternity ward until we arrive in the mortuary. That is not the sort of future that I want."@en1
