Re: Full body scanners break child porn laws....

dont know where to be on this one

a: i think body scanners are a waste of time and unlikely to help at all in preventing terrorists

b: the pictures only become an issue if they are being taken or used in a unlawful manner the "Criminal Justice and Immigration Act" made it an offence to have any image ( ex stream image i think it actually says ) "solely or principally for the purpose of sexual arousal" the problem there would only occur if the operator ( person viewing ) intended to use it that way

then there is the "Coroners and Justice Bill" which makes any image ( technicaly any image that they think is a child even if they are not is covered this way too ) infact having any part of the child even say a foot in the picture where the use of the picture is for sexual gratification makes it illegal ( even drawn pictures could fall under this law)

BUT for the life of me i cant see how any of it applies if they vet the operators unless they are oing to do thought probes on them to see if they are thinking illegal thoughts
