Ministers will loudly and publicly say that no-one will be exempted.<br />Ministers will privately instruct that they be exempted.<br />Members of the public insist that Muslims have been exempted, to which Ministers respond by calling them liars and racists, with the press enthuisastically joining in.<br />Six months later clear evidence emerges that they are exempted, Ministers say that "lessons will be learned".Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-66851318632554098912010-02-12T23:27:13.686+00:002010-02-12T23:27:13.686+00:00I'm with the Muslims. We're not terrorists...I'm with the Muslims. We're not terrorists and very few of them are either. We should all be protesting this pointless security theatre and refusing to be scanned. If the Israelis can get passengers from the car park to the boarding gate in half an hour instead of three and still not get blown up then why the fuck can't the rest of us? I suspect a lot of it is because we have softcocks for politicians and scare mongerers for journalists and a lot of companies popping up promising a technological solution involving a very large number with a $ sign on the front. Someone's making a lot of money of the misery and tedium we get put through at airports.Angry Exilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491082312193274360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-6053637467307321772010-02-12T18:44:15.505+00:002010-02-12T18:44:15.505+00:00"If they refuse to be scanned they'll be ..."If they refuse to be scanned they'll be sent away.

Why bother taking a photo if you can't reproduce it when an incident occurs on an aircraft ?<br />And the machine must have a hard drive in order to boot up every morning. Maybe the delete is like a PC delete where it's still on the hard drive but the memory can be overwritten.<br />And what about the radiation levels ? This isn't a pair of X ray specs out of The Hotspur. These fuckers can see through your bollox and ringpiece in fine detail. Must be some kind of radiation.<br />Yes more explanations would be appreciated.ninja turtles will have to be strip searched insteadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-50283824632680755052010-02-12T18:20:40.004+00:002010-02-12T18:20:40.004+00:00That will only work if the operator can be seen to...That will only work if the operator can be seen to be male or female as appropriate.
