US pilot refused permission to board plane after he declines to be body scanned...

We reproduce here in full the account of Michael Roberts, an American pilot whose life and career has seemingly been ruined by his principled opposition to body scanners.

The account is remarkable and needs no commentary from us, except to say that, even if they worked, applying these security protocols to pilots is self-evidently absurd. He's about to fly a multi-ton hunk of metal above densely populated areas - he doesn't need to smuggle anything on board to be dangerous. Either we trust pilots, or we don't. More...

Don 't miss:
  1. Italy to abandon full body scanners at airports...
  2. Staff in Nigeria using scanners to ogle at women ...
  3. Mounting anger against airport body scanners...
  4. Americans file complaints over naked body scanners...
  5. Image of genitalia on Miami airport body scanner led to assault...
