"Mr President, we all want to combat terrorism and the threat that it poses to democracies; there is, I believe, agreement on that point within our Parliament. While the adage that ‘a people that is ready to sacrifice a little freedom for a little security ends up losing both’ seems completely over the top to me, I am nevertheless convinced that we must do everything we can to find a balance between freedom and security, because this is the foundation of democracy and because, without that balance, the terrorists will have won if they succeed in terrorising us all.
I have two questions concerning body scanners. In terms of security, do these scanners make it possible today to really guarantee security conditions? In terms of freedom, as a member of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, I wonder whether there is not a risk to health and, of course, a risk with regard to infringements of personal privacy, and therefore of fundamental rights, and with regard to the use of these images. Let us wait determinedly for the Commission’s work so that we can make progress and so that we can do so as a European Union, all together, in order to ensure our security in a European democratic area."@en1
