"I voted in favour of this report, which also has the virtue of reviving the debate on aviation security.
Following the attacks of 2001 and subsequent terrorist alerts, Europe adopted restrictive yet necessary measures to guarantee public safety. In recent years, the alert has still not been called off, so now the EU needs to implement harmonised rules on scanners, with a special focus on the use of body scanners and, at the same time, common standards need to be set for their operation and detection performance.
The use of body scanners will thus be subject to strict rules so as to protect the health and privacy of passengers, whose right not to undergo a check using a scanner but with other equipment needs to be recognised.
Lastly, I agree with the decision to phase out the ban on carrying liquids, gels and aerosols by 29 April 2013: by that date, all airports should have new and reliable equipment capable of screening liquids, aerosols and gels. I believe, however, that we must give Member States the option of re-establishing these checks if situations arise that could jeopardise security."@en1
