Thanks for your opinions but I still don´t think there is any violation of privacy here. I am sure there already is a term for what I am going to say but I don´t know it: I believe it can not be considered a violation of privacy as long as the observer does not have any connection or specific interest in the observee. No one would be disturbed about this whole scanning issue if it was completely executed by a computer, because the observer, in this case the computer, would not be concerned about you. But obviously; image recognition software isn´t that mature as of now, thus there is need for human assistance. So the securtiy guard looks at the picture before his eyes, not really different than what the computer does, and tries to recognize shapes in it. To the observer it isn´t a naked body, it´s a mathematical entity, a bunch of pixels which need to be identified.

Let a program which fills a picture with random pixels run for an infinite amount of time; and some of its output will be your naked photos, of all sorts, some even naughtier than you can ever imagine. There will even be one that shows you riding a donkey on the top of Eiffel tower. It´s simply data.

My eye caught some snow today, but nothing caught my eye itself

 I wonder if I could get away with saying this...exactely my thoughts!

 I think that many countries will still prefer the full body search - this will only show up where someone has got something a bit unusual in his or her pants   or eaten a rather odd lunch   Do you think this could be a way to cure obesity???

Oh and I think they are moaning .......... again!  They are not in use yet (I don´t think!)

French Politicians Blast Fast Food Chain´s New Halal Menu

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,586579,00.html?test=latestnews

I am wondering why politicians are even commenting publically about a private business´s decision to serve halal food.  It is not like they are saying that non-muslims are not welcome.  Is it a hardship not to get bacon on your burger?  Seems like much ado about nothing! 

I don´t think the halal menu is a big deal, and most French people don´t give a hoot either. It´s only in 8 of the 350 restaurants. Only the extreme right-winged (aka RACIST) politicians seem to complaint about it. So, there isn´t much ado about it! No customers complained. I don´t get angry when a menu only offers halal, and I don´t get angry when a menu only offers fish or only vegetarian either If I want a piece of pork I´ll just go somewhere else, and most normal French people are the same, I think.

What´s the deal with the Dutch gov´t collapsing today????

No idea. I heard it on the radio a couple of hours ago. They were arguing about soldiers in Afghanistan, should ´we´ stay or not. Now we have to wait, will this administration continue as a minority in parliament or do we get new elections? 

Ugh... AGAIN?! This is the 4th (!!!!) government colapsing under this president... I´m too young to be voting for the 4th time... I´m in my mid twenties!

I´m so not looking forward to getting into the whole election thing again, trying to figure out who to vote for now. Can´t I just cast one anti-vote instead? (Anti-right winged a-hole Wilders vote ofcourse )

And rumours go that the next administration will be Bakellende V......
