I know it's The Sun, but hey!

I don't see a problem with being X-Rayed, and i think the Airport did the right thing in banning her from the flight.

Though the article contradicts itself...

A MUSLIM woman was barred from boarding a flight to Pakistan when she refused to go through a full body scanner because of religious reasons.

The female passenger who declined on medical grounds was said to be concerned because she had an infection.

Hmmm....

 

[Sinque]

She should have been rugby tackled to the ground and strip searched.

 

[antijoke]

An infection of C4 in her shoes probably.

 

[craptakular]

Damn right too

Hmmm....

If you read the article, they're talking about two different people. One refused based on religious reasons, the other based on medical reasons.

It's right though. If you don't agree with the T&C of the airline/airport, you shouldn't fly.

Don't see the problem...unless X-Ray machines affect pacemakers or something? Then I could see a valid reason

But still...religious reasons? Lol....Fine, the rubber glove it is then love!

 

[anything I don't mind]

you don't have a problem with body scanners ?

 

[apatia77]

I'm a Muslim and can do what I want as otherwise it's against my religion.

She should have got arrested and force to pay a hefty fine!

 

[craptakular]

you don't have a problem with body scanners ?

nope. Anything to stop trafficing, terrorism etc etc.

S'cos guns are made of metal

As in the metal things that detech metal and other metallic fibres, no

The infection thing. Probably from watching House too much, but doesn't full body radiation destroy the immune system? Obviously airport scanners aren't that extreme, but it must have some effect on the immune system.

 

[stockhausen]

I didn't know that full body scanners used X-Rays?

Aren't there issues with repeated exposure to X-Rays?

This.

Don't agree with their T&C? Don't use their product/service then. Simples.

I can see the religious reasons for not wanting a stranger seeing you "naked" to be honest, and I'm an atheist!

Devils advocate but ..

If a airline decided that all it's passengers had to say out loud the line 'Jesus deserves to rot in hell' before it let passengers on - to weed out Christian fundermentalists .. would that be acceptable ...?

lmao

where will it end eh?

im not sure that they had full body scanners in the time the Quaran was written, thus how can it be against the religion?

sounds odd to me...

Don't have to be religious to object to that either.
