This makes me think of a quote by Benjamin Franklin:

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Aren´t these quotes lovely?The funny thing they may be interpreted two-ways

essential liberty might be the right to travel safe and temporary safety might be being saved from a body scan

Ha! that gave me an idea - have separate airlines for people who are concerned for their privacy more than safety. Thus everyone will have a choice - i mean, if they´ll find a crew willing to go with passengers not having gone through security

My personal opinion on this is that govs are slowly but sternly taking over your freedom for your own safety. I think ,or better, I know the whole 9/11 thing was orchestrated in order to create new laws to control the people telling them the fairy tales of terrorism. Fear does the job.

 Don´t matter whether it is a council or not, I know that any one of my emails or communicator calls is recorded in our IS "dark room" and can be retrieved and held against you at any time..... Equality Act 2010 or not

Oh and not to mention all the "security" cameras watching your every move!
