"It is our duty as MEPs to get involved in resolving the issues raised by the subject of body scanners with regard to both the fight against terrorism and the civil and personal rights of Europeans.
I totally agree with finding viable solutions for enhancing our citizens’ security. However, we have an obligation to ensure the protection of all the rights of our fellow citizens across the European Union. This implies the right to privacy and the fundamental right to personal dignity, which must be balanced with the security concept of the airport machines. The question which arises in this context is whether these body scanners are the most viable solution for resolving the security problems at airports.
I think that Europe must say YES to finding solutions for combating terrorism and organised crime and NO to infringing the right to privacy and personal dignity, which is a basic principle of democracy."@en1
