"I voted against this report as the use of this checking method, which is similar to a full body search, is an attack on individual privacy. Of course, semantic precautions are taken to make the use of body scanners, referred to as ‘security scanners’, admissible in airports; their use is surrounded by privacy and data protection ‘safeguards’ (the option of not submitting to the scan and going through a checking process, a very remote image viewing room, restricted data storage, among other things).
As always with the use of technologies that call into question data protection and privacy, the issues of purpose and proportionality arise. Reducing the terrorist threat depends on the resolution of the political causes at the root of terrorism and on strengthening the human resources allocated to the services concerned: victims, just like others – despite the optical illusions – of austerity policies. The proliferation of ever-more sophisticated technological resources is somewhat illusory. This headlong rush can only serve to cover up the failings of the fight against terrorism and its use for ‘political’ ends."@en1
