"In favour. The European Parliament (EP) today adopted a report on the use of body scanners in airports (Grandes report). The Greens welcomed the outcome, after Green proposals calling for stricter conditions on the use of body scanners were adopted, notably, the exclusion of x-ray technology.
The EP has today made it clear that citizens’ interests must come first in considerations on the use of controversial body scanning technology. The EP wants to ensure that Member States will not be obliged to introduce body scanners. Where they decide to use this technology, the EP has made clear this should only be done under restricted conditions: only for use in airports, and under the condition that appropriate rules are in place to safeguard the health and fundamental rights of passengers. There are serious concerns about the potential impacts of the widespread use of body scanners – in airports and beyond – both in terms of privacy and public health, and these cannot be ignored."@en1
