German protesters strip-off in demonstration against full-body airport scanners

[RamboLiberal]

The argument surrounding full-body scanners has been taken to a more personal level in Germany - with a series of naked protests dubbed 'fleshmobs'.

Groups of demonstrators have stripped off at airports in Berlin, Frankfurt and Dusseldorf in reaction to the news that officials are considering installing the scanners during the coming year.

A number of governments around the world are looking at using the controversial technology in a bid to boost airport security.

Protestors, using the motto 'you do not need to scan us - we are already naked', scrawled messages on their bodies including 'something to hide?' and 'be a good citizen – drop your pants'

4. Yep.. have everyone disrobe, put their clothes in locking bins

give them a key and have them put on a "Fly -Snuggie"..

People would even be more comfy..

All the money they save could be used to construct large "changing rooms"..attended, of course.. (Think gym class)

Extra "bulgy" undies would warrant closer "inspection":rofl:

5. That's a lot less invasive for those who object - if you strip naked you can avoid a scanner
