I personally think this is a step in the right direction.


Yeah, a step in the right direction The old, "If you're not doing anything wrong then you should have nothing to worry about argument" Spoken like a true agent of the state or one of it's brainwashed sheep! This is bad in so many ways that I cannot even see anything that resembles a silver lining on this idea.

First of all, x-rays are RADIATION - something that we know is bad for human soft tissue and some electronic devices say like PACEMAKERS! Secondly, usurping privacy in the name of security is NEVER a good idea. It is the slippery slope that leads to despotism and enslavement. Think Hitler if you need an example.

I'm not certain what happened to you folks across the pond but you should be a.) scared, b.) pissed, c.) curious enough to understand why or d.) all of the above. You cannot arm yourselves to defend yourselves. There are cameras EVERYWHERE watching EVERYTHING and your personal liberties and privacy are nearly non-existent. At the rate that things have been escalating, you will all be essentially living in what resembles a prison; however, this one lacks walls as they are unnecessary and might alert people to what us really going on. I find it impossible to believe that anyone thinks any of these measures are good!

I don't get the whole privacy thing in this situation? Do you own the street the x-ray camera is pointed to? Do you own that lamp post?

By the way, do you have any hard evidence to show that current x-ray technology is detrimental to health of people with electronically assisted health related devices? Technology has come a long way. There are some x-ray machines that will cause problems in these devices, but if you actually do the research..

If this member is a citizen of the UK that pays taxes, then to a degree, yes he does, and he also reserves the right to be against this. Since when can't a citizen be against something done by the government?

You have evidence to prove without a shadow of a doubt, that an x-ray device will not conflict with a pacemaker that is, say, 10 years old? Do you have the hard evidence to prove that x rays are 100% safe? I have never heard a single scientist ever say "oh boy, let's go run around in a bunch of x-rays naked for fun!" (not inclusive of fraternity hazing, of course).

If x-rays are safe, then why do people wear protective lead covers when at the dentist? And why is it that when I go to get an x-ray, the person taking the x-ray is in their own little enclosed room?

*Edit to add:

It is like we were sharing the same mind....
