"Mr President, this is a debate that raises many emotive issues to do with human rights and, most importantly, security. One of the points I would make is that when anyone uses airports, they do so of their own free will, they do not have to do so; so they do actually voluntarily give up part of their liberties. It has been said that, to protect us all, some of us have to give up part of our liberties. I do, however, support the view that alternatives – such as searches – should be available.
This issue has flummoxed this Parliament and the Commission for some time. In 2005, while this Parliament was completely opposed to body scanners, the European Union spent EUR 725 000 on six body scanners that have never been used and are sitting in a car park in Brussels. They are now obsolete, but you pay a yearly maintenance. This is another example of you saying one thing and asking people to do another. This should be a matter for Member States. For Christ’s sake, spend money wisely, do not just throw it away! We have a shortage of money."@en1
