EU forbyr kroppscanner basert på røntgen

EU forbyr røntgen-varianten av kroppscanner pga. kreftfaren
The European Commission decided in November to ban airport body scanning X-ray backscatter machines after studies found a small number of cancer cases linked to use of the devices. The decision affects all airports in Europe, with an exception for U.K. airports that will be allowed to test them, but not deploy them permanently.
TSA fortsetter å bruke dem med begrunnelse av at de har funnet over 300 farlige gjenstander siden 2010. Andre eksperter sier at det er så lett å smugle ting gjennom scannerene og at "there is no case for scanners."

In order not to risk jeopardising citizens' health and safety, only security scanners which do not use X-ray technology are added to the list of authorised methods for passenger screening at EU airports. All other technologies, such as that used for mobiles phones and others, can be used provided that they comply with EU security standards.

Re: EU forbyr kroppscanner basert på røntgen

300 gjenstander siden 2010? Noen raske spørsmål:

- Hvor mange mennesker har passert slike i 2011?
- Hvor mange objekter beslaglegges totalt i løpet av et år?

Hvor signifikant i statistikken er da "300 objekter"?

Er det bare backscattermaskinene som er bannlyst i EU og USA?
 
Re: EU forbyr kroppscanner basert på røntgen

Interessant artikkel om røntgenmaskinene, der forskere har vist at de er langt fra så effektive som TSA mener de er.

Now a team of security researchers from the University of California at San Diego, the University of Michigan, and Johns Hopkins plans to reveal their own results from months of testing that same model of scanner. And not only did they find that Corbett’s weapon-hiding tactic worked; they also found that they could pull off a disturbing list of other possible tricks, such as using teflon tape to conceal weapons against someone’s spine, installing malware on the scanner’s console that spoofed scans, or simply molding plastic explosives around a person’s body to make it nearly indistinguishable from flesh in the machine’s images.
