Summary - "Body Scanners Coming to Canadian Airports"

By Stanley

In "Body Scanners Coming to Canadian Airports," Cynthia Boll tells about the importance of the body scanners coming to Canadian airports. According to Cynthia Boll, dozens of body scanners will be installed in Canadian airports to be used on passengers for screening. The machine allows a screening office to see if someone is carrying plastic explosives and dangerous items. Bolls states that the plan to use the technology has stirred controversy because the scanner produces an outline of a person’s naked body. Boll points out that when an individual passes through, the scanning images will not be stored, but the Canadian Civil Liberties Association lawyer Natalie Des Rosiers was concerned about the behavioral screening plan because it can be used to single out some group for racial profiling. According to Cynthia Boll, travelers to the U.S. from 14 specific countries will be facing a full body pat-down before boarding. Prime Minister Stephen Harper said the focus on security measures stem from the failed attempt by a Nigerian man to set off a bomb on a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas Day.
