Women dislike full-body airport scanners

February 22, 2010

Oregon Women’s Report survey result,

Over 60% of Oregon women who took our online survey said they do not approve of airport full-body imaging scanners.  Travelers through Oregon’s largest airport, Portland, may have no choice as a new scanner si expected to arrive sometime this year.   After the Christmas Day bomber, new efforts to install as many scanners in as many airports as possible.

Below are some of the comments:


- I’m not sure that all of the TSA folks are as upstanding as we would wish.
- Keeping people safe is more important than inconveniences.
- I’m strongly opposed to full-body scanners. It’s wrong, and under American Constitutional law, I think it is an “unreasonable search.”
- Disapprove for everyone, Use profiling and approve for those, let’s use interogation, tougher immigration laws, more covert anti-terroism tactics, more profiling and quit treating evryone the same.
- Will they be able to find cancer with it too? I think they should also get a cancer sniffing dog, and tag team people. Early detection is key.
- Not on everyone!
- It seems like it would take forever to get on a plane
- As long as they are not afraid to profile those to be scanned as I’m assuming they’ll not be scanning everyone.

Sad that 44% of the ladies would give up freedom for “perceived” safety.

It is a complete invasion of privacy are doctors looking at these monitors? Men pay to view this elsewhere….

I have a problem with the full body scanners. Who in the hell is benefiting from this so call Detroit Bomber? I think there is a lot more to this episode then meets the eye.
The scanner manufacturers are benefiting greatly from all this security hype over these scanners. Maybe they are behind this failed
attempt to blow a plane up?

I will NEVER put myself or my kids through them. We have to fight this. Read up on it and google it. The scientists agree..”There are NO safe levels of radiation”. We must not give in to the TERROR TERROR TERROR fear tactics and let certain people get filthy rich off these scanners while they rob us and our loved ones of our health and liberty!!!
