A total of 13 backscatter X-ray machines are being ditched because they have not been given EU approval, even though they are in common use in the United States.
The devices, which use low dose X-rays to produce an image of the body, have come under fire on both privacy and health grounds, amid suggestions they could pose a potential cancer risk.
However despite an expert committee concluding in March that the devices did not pose a health risk, Brussels has refused to sanction their use.
As a result they will be replaced by millimetre-wave devices, such as those used at Heathrow, which have been given EU approval.
These machines enable security staff to detect hidden objects without also requiring them to inspect a ghostly X-ray image of the body.

Don't touch my junk (TSA)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UqM56e-kRA&feature=related
Did you all realize that this went on for 15 minutes?
I had no idea.
Listen to this all the way though especially the end.
What case would they need to bring against him?
Why should he have to hire a lawyer for opting out of going on his trip.
The last guy was so intimidating, he was actually treating John, like he'd done something wrong.
What really bugs thee crap out of me, is that 9/11 was only investigated by a Congress.
NO FBI, No Cops, only Congress.
Do you really think that they knew what to look for?
The cover up was to quick, to make sure this kind of crap was the end result.
John is a hero, he stuck his ass on the line for what he believes.
America it's time for this crap to stop and the only way to show them "WE" mean business is to opt out over the Thanksgiving holiday!
Show your support to John as well as yourself.
Take your rights and show the airlines "WE" mean business.

TSA hit with lawsuits as revolt explodes
http://www.prisonplanet.com/tsa-hit-with-lawsuits-as-revolt-explodes.html
This is how controled our country has become.
FUCK FLYING!
If your allowing yourself to be subject to this, there is no limit to the amount of abuse you will take.
No amount of "Terror Control" is worth this bullshit!
The TSA has been hit with a number of lawsuits as the revolt against Big Sis, naked body scanners, and invasive groping measures explodes, with one case involving a woman who had her blouse pulled down in full public view by TSA goons who then proceeded to laugh and joke about her exposed breasts.
Nationwide outrage against the TSA is not only bringing to light new cases of airport abuse, it’s throwing fresh attention on previous incidents that have been going on for years.
One of the most disturbing, which is subject to an ongoing lawsuit, involved a 21-year-old college student from Amarillo Texas. The woman was passing through security at Corpus Christi airport on May 29 2008 when she was subjected to “extended search procedures” by the TSA.
