Muslim woman barred from boarding after she refuses body scan at airport

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

A Muslim woman was barred from boarding a flight after she refused to undergo a full body scan for religious reasons.

The passenger was passing through security at Manchester Airport when she was selected at random for a full-body scanner.

She was warned that she would be stopped from boarding the plane but she decided to forfeit her ticket to Pakistan rather than submit to the scan.

And why are there full body scans?

Good for her.

Why good for her? Let's let all muslim women forego security screening?

What's the problem? She didn't get on the plane. Everyone should have a right to not fly if they don't want to be screened! No one changed the rules for her, as they shouldn't.

I would have done the same thing.

Full Body scans are one of the most ridiculous things airports have come up with yet.

I respectfully disagree. Anything at all that makes me feel safer flying has my thumbs up.

A full body scan is not more rediculous than being on a plane with an armed terrorist because there were no checks done. By then its too late to correct the mistake.

Terrorists will always find a way.

Those who sacrifice liberty for security, deserve neither.

And why are there full body scans?

Because Zombie McVeigh has threatened to fly planes into buildings.

I'm sure you'll be glad of your liberty as your plane heads for an office block, piloted by un-security checked terrorists.

Yes it is her right to not get scanned and not board the flight. In a days time, she isnt the only one to get pulled to the side to get scanned so I dont think this would be just targeting any group. Im thinking theres alot of muslim men and women that fly in a days time & majority do not get pulled to the side. I think security needs to be handled in a different way though. I dont really agree with a full body scan at this time myself, however I'm thinking its alot less than what doctors and nurses have to see.
