The Rapiscan backscatter units are so safe and effective they are to
be removed from USA airports. Millimeter wave type will remain in service.
The clowns in Canberra probably don't even know this...
I agree. If you want to make a stand against the scanners you would want to have a pretty good plan B and a lot of money. I would suggest it would be a constitutional challenge in the High Court or some form of OH & S issue which you would have to prove in court to get your job back.
Either way you would unemployed for a few years if you took that path.
Good point, the scanner legislation is flawed for airport workers and regular airline staff who have to use the facility.. ain't much choice... it is a OH & S issue in my view as well..
Of course all politicians are regularly scanned. If not, we should demand that they are, probably the most untrustworthy of all airport users and a quick way to get the law changed is by having them scanned daily..
