The road to truth is long, and lined the entire way with annoying bastards.

Well I'm sure they are aware of the value of privacy but what they're more aware of is the value of keeping their job. The BBC itself is a the propaganda arm of the government itself is hardly likely to bite the hand that feeds it. Why can't even Deane tell the TRUTH: that the underwear bomber was a secret service patsy, that 9/11 and 7/7 were inside jobs and the war on terror is a hoax and a fraud designed to enslave you.

Found illegal under the Human Rights Act.

Once again, a horrendous waste of our money by those who should know better.

Rather this than groped in a pat down to me thats more an invasion. How is this an invasion of privacy. The German professor mentioned in the clip was a different type of scanner not the type in Heathrow (passive Thz). Do you call a doctors appointment if you strip an invasion of privacy. To be honest people are just too prude, they are hardy titalating! 5 mins on the internet much more exciting pictures can be found.

"if you don't like it, don't fly"

Well thats exactly what im doing nobhead, but I dont like the fact because im sticking up for my rights and privacy i have a poorer quality of life and less freedom of movement than others. when these are brought into train stations, bus stations, courts, etc my rights and freedoms will be further eroded. i weep at the publics ignorance.

The Director of Big Brother Watch handles this one very well as it is apparent that none of them seem even faintly aware of the existence and value of privacy.
