Personal Security? The Debate Over Full Body Scanners And Privacy Continues To Grow

Admin — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 16:28:29 +0000

All over the United States, new high-tech full body scanners are being installed at airports, and we are told that this is for our own good. Apparently it is in the interest of national security that we all be subjected to what amounts to "virtual strip searches" before we get on an airplane. But are these full body scanners actually going to make us safer? Are they actually needed for our personal security? Or are they just dehumanizing us and blasting us with needless amounts of dangerous radiation? Well, the debate continues to rage on but the Transportation Security Administration continues to install them anyway. At this point the TSA has spent more than $80 million for about 500 full body scanners. 133 have already been installed at U.S. airports, and the TSA plans to install about 1,000 more by the end of 2011.

Back in the old days, Americans were civil with each other and while they certainly did debate the issues hard, they generally never attempted to threaten, intimidate or physically attack the other side.

Welcome to Personal Security! In a world where workers are losing their jobs, foreclosures are setting all-time records and the economy is going downhill fast, the truth is that a lot of people are getting desperate.

That means that more people are turning to crime. The world we live in has fundamentally changed. In times past you could at least count on most people having a sense of morality, but those days are gone.

Today, thanks to the moral collapse of society, the world around us in NOT safe, and it is getting less safe by the day.

So can we count on the police to keep us safe?

Hardly?

If something happens to you, or if your house gets broken into, in many areas you will be lucky if they actually do decide to send a cop out to see you. Even then, most of the time they just fill out a report and never follow up on it.

The reality is that it is up to YOU to take care of yourself and your family in today's world.

It is our hope that the articles and the information about personal security that you find on this website will help you to do that.
