"The European Parliament’s vote on the report on body scanners in airports has sent out a vital message: security is of paramount importance, but not at any price. This is the second time the European legislative is sending out a message about this after it voted against the SWIFT agreement with the United States, which breaches European citizens’ right to personal data protection. It is important that MEPs have asked for the devices to respect passengers’ privacy and dignity and not to pose a health risk. At the moment, body scanners do not feature on the list of control methods and technologies capable of detecting objects hidden in clothing. This is the list drawn up as part of the EU legal framework for aviation security. The European Commission is due to propose a set of regulations which will add body scanners to the list of search methods authorised at EU level. However, this does not mean that Parliament will not have the opportunity to reject the proposal tabled by the Commission. The fact that these devices could affect passengers’ health is an important detail which needs to be resolved prior to approving any of these technologies."@en1
