Full Body Scanners Violate Child Porn Laws
gandhi_2 writes "The Guardian has a story about an ongoing legal battle over the use of full body scanners in the UK. The Protection of Children Act 1978, includes provisions in which it is illegal to create an indecent image or a 'pseudo-image' of a child... which a full body scanner does."
Pedobear TSA edition!
"Think of the Children" meets "Fighting Terrorism." Which one wins? News at 11.
The World is Yours.
Two ridiculous hot-button topics with opposing aims.
Wow, this is kind of like when the unstoppble force meets the immovable object.
Slashdot: news for Apple. Stuff that Apple.
As much as I don't care for the losers working airport security, I'm more concerned about the trauma they will go through looking at average airline passengers sans clothing all day long.
please think of the adults!
Security debates don't fuel anything to do with think.
Unless you count Doublethink.

Child porn laws need to differentiate between images of voluntarily nude children in the bathtub and children forced to show their privates to strangers so that they can fly to visit grandma.
We'll have to put kids in opaque balls and cast them out to sea so that nobody can look at them or touch them or think about them. It's the only way.
If you think if the children, the terrorists win. Wait. No. If you don't think of the children, the terrorists win. Ahhh...my moral outrage is so confused right now.
Children are small. We can transport them with a series of high speed air powered tubes. Problem solved.
Fear of pedos vs. fear of terrorists.
The cage match we've all been waiting for.
Anyone taking bets?
For all intensive purposes, "whom" is no longer a word. That begs the question, "who cares"?
Bestiality is illegal. Let's outlaw all images of naked animals; the logic is the same, unfortunately.
Bestiality is illegal.
Not here in Brazil, bitches. You will have to pry Mumu from my cold dead hands
No sister, no daughter, and if you think my mom is hot, then there's something -really- wrong with you.
I like you, Stuart. You're not like everyone else, here, at Slashdot.
Note. This quote may have been altered for your safety.
I propose we invoke the law of the school yard which clearly states that if they're going to see ours they're going to have to show us theirs. That should put an end to that.
If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error.
Get the Queen to run the scanners. She is above the law (or ta least can pardon herself from anything)
No sister, no daughter, and if you think my mom is hot, then there's something -really- wrong with you.
He said wife, not mom. You have issues ;-)
One thing is certain though - given the survival of the recent bomber, bombers should now think twice before hesitate stuffing explosives into their crotch area
Should, maybe, but won't.
If they weren't blazing idiots in the first place, they would be hesitating before stuffing explosives next to their balls BEFORE someone lit his own on fire.
I mean come on... Jihad is Jihad, but these are the twins we're talking about.
