EU blocks airport ‘virtual strip search’

STRASBOURG, France (AP) — European Union lawmakers have voted overwhelmingly to demand more study before the bloc authorizes the introduction of new full body scanners at airports which allow security staff to see through passengers’ clothes.
The European Parliament voted 361 to 16 with 18 abstentions Thursday in favor of a resolution demanding EU authorities carry out a full study of the privacy and health implications of the new technology.

The new systems allow guards to see an outline of passengers’ bodies beneath their clothes. Supporters say it makes it easier to detect concealed objects such as liquids or plastic weapons not picked up by traditional metal detectors.
It already is being introduced in several U.S. airports and has been tested in other countries around the world, including EU nations such as Britain and the Netherlands.
Civil liberties campaigners have denounced it as a “virtual strip search.”

No, they have legitimized the research, which will be presented, and passed once the propaganda is complete. The MEP’s were saying that the propaganda is not good enough. They are probably just waiting for the next false flag that is being openly discussed as occuring during Obama’s first 6months.

Basically in Europe there is NO INFO on this subject ! I’ve been looking and finally found one mainstream article dated today and only one other article buried in the european parliament BLOG spot.
Then I tried to find out how laws are written and enacted in the European Union AND FOUND NOTHING.
There is talk that ‘parlamentaries’ vote. There is nothing about WHO writes the laws, etc.. I have heard that laws are written by ANONYMOUS committee members who are NOT ELECTED. This is bureaucratic tryanny ! No accountability and no transparency. AND A QUASI MEDIA BLACKOUT !!!
PLEASE EUROPEAN PARLAMENTARY VOTERS —don’t just ask for more information—VOTE NO !!!!!
