Pilots boycott full-body scanners over health fears...

THE world's largest pilot's association has boycotted full-body scanners over health risks but passengers wishing to avoid the devices may instead be faced with "invasive" pat-down searches.

The Allied Pilots Association (APA) made the recommendation in a recent letter to its members, advising pilots to submit to the searches instead of facing the extra radiation from the scanners.

The Australian and International Pilots Association says it is also considering the issue raised by the APA but would not comment as to whether it recommends Australian pilots take the same action. More...

Don't miss:
  1. Airport body scanners 'could give you cancer' 
  2. Airport security? Or airport harassment?
  3. More "security" outrage for passengers at airports...
  4. Michael Roberts, the pilot who said "no" to scanner...
  5. Italy to abandon full body scanners at airports...
