"Whilst security scanners or body scanners have been an undeniable step forward for aviation security as they allow the detection of banned items hidden under clothing, they should not be introduced without extreme precautions. On the one hand, citizens’ health must be safeguarded and therefore I support the ban on monitoring technologies that use ionising radiation. On the other hand, the dignity and privacy of individuals must be protected. Therefore, it is essential, if we are to add security scanners to the list of approved inspection methods, that only stick figures are permitted, that the data are destroyed and that it is possible to refuse to submit to such a check. The use of these scanners must be harmonised and subject to common protection rules that guarantee respect for fundamental rights in each Member State that chooses to introduce this system. Regular updates of the standards will be necessary to cope with new risks, technological developments and any resulting negative effects. Moreover, lifting the ban on the carrying of liquids, aerosols and gels in 2013, and instead having a system for inspecting these substances, is, in my view, highly appropriate."@en1
