Full Body Scan or pat-down

Assalamualaikum~

Full body scan


I'm sure some of you have heard about the full body scanners that the US government bought and used in certain airports in America. The government have bought around 450 body scanners to be used in the airports in detecting several threats before boarding the airplanes.

You can, however, opt out from the full body scan and opt for pat-down by the immigration officers. However, the rules have changed now and the pat-downs will be much more humiliating to the passengers in which the officers will search/grope/grab/pat your privates in order to conduct their search for possible threatening objects.

What about full body scan? For most people, it is violation of privacy and for some, like us Muslims, we would object the full body scan because it doesn't comply with our religious belief. Yelah, cuba korang bayangkan body scan ni mcm kita dibogelkan jer ek?-.-" But we don't have a choice kan? nak biarkan officers tu raba2 kita plak ke? tak sanggup saya...

What about you?what will you choose if you were to travel to the US? Full body scan or 'molestation'?

  2. That's true. I guess, America is not so 'liberal' like what we think.
