"As one of the possible technical solutions for guaranteeing safe air transport, the issue of body scanners is very serious as it concerns the safety of citizens through the use of innovative technologies, and I am therefore glad that today, the Commission is providing an assessment of the impact of body scanners on an individual’s health and fundamental human rights. It is undoubtedly very important and essential to guarantee aviation security, but we must ascertain the impact that measures created to ensure this security have on our health, fundamental rights, privacy, dignity and data protection. In the resolution it adopted on the impact of body scanners, and several times during discussions, the European Parliament has expressed concern over the possible infringement of the human right to privacy, the impact of radiation on health and the reasonableness of the cost of acquiring special equipment. Thus, before using body scanners, we must know exactly whether these technical security measures will guarantee effective protection of individuals travelling by air and whether they really will be safe, effective and sound. Furthermore, I would like to draw attention to the fact that, when applying new technical measures aimed at achieving a high level of airport security, it is also crucial to set boundaries between human rights and security itself, because those measures are not just about protecting citizens, but also about the impact on their health, rights and freedoms."@en1
