"We know aviation security is an important issue for both workers and passengers. However, we consider it essential to guarantee this security without impacting on the freedoms and guarantees of individuals. The document adopted by the majority in Parliament, which follows in the wake of the panic caused by the ‘escalating terrorist threat’, seeks to implement the method of body scanning at EU level, supporting this with its speed and effectiveness. However, it is twisting people’s concerns and ignores the fundamental issue.
Parliament is forgetting that this method is a veritable assault on the dignity and privacy of passengers. Moreover, the report ends up being contradictory, on the one hand promoting the use of scanners and, on the other, acknowledging that ‘exposure to doses of cumulative ionising radiation cannot be acceptable’ because it increases the risk of skin cancer. Another disconcerting issue is the difficulty of guaranteeing passengers effective protection for their data and images generated by the scanners: this situation could once again constitute a violation of dignity and privacy."@en1
