Muslim women who refused to take ‘naked’ full-body scan are barred from Manchester to Pakistan flight
Two Muslim women have become the first passengers to refuse to subject themselves to controversial ‘naked’ full body airport scans, it emerged today.The pair – who security officials insist were selected at random – opted to miss their flight to Pakistan and forfeit tickets worth £400 each rather than be screened.One of the women refused to go through the full-body scanner at Manchester Airport on religious grounds while her companion also declined for ‘medical reasons’.
The women were travelling together to Islamabad when they were selected to pass through the controversial security screen after checking-in at Terminal Two at the airport.
An estimated 15,000 people have already passed through the scanners, with the pair the first passengers to refuse a scan.
Both told airport staff they were not willing to be scanned. They were warned they would not be allowed to board the Pakistan International Airlines flight if they refused.
The pair decided they would rather forfeit their £400 tickets and left the airport with their luggage.
The £80,000 scanners were introduced at Heathrow and Manchester airports on February 5.
The X-ray machines allow security staff to see a ‘naked’ image of passengers to show up hidden weapons and explosives, but it has attracted criticism for also showing clear outlines of passengers’ genitals.
Manchester Airport confirmed the passengers had refused to be scanned but said it had received no complaint from the women.
However, civil liberties campaigners say the incident could form the basis of a legal test case to challenge the use of the Rapiscan device in airports.
Alex Deane, director of campaign group Big Brother Watch, said the organisation would represent the women if they wished to challenge the decision in court.He said: ‘People shouldn’t have to sacrifice their health, their faith, their dignity, or their privacy in order to fly.
‘People with health and religious concerns shouldn’t be forced to go through these scanners if they have good reason not to. Foolishly, the government has ignored both issues and ignored privacy concerns to boot – they are in the wrong on this.’
Excuse me, but the reality is that the Islamic religion of war is the reason that these security measures have been added. So Muslims should be forced to go through them, if they want to fly.
Obviously there is a problem in the UK with Islamic Fundamentalist, or they would not have paid over $80,000. 00 for them. I say try and catch as many terrorist that you can with these machines. It will only be a mater of time when Muslims out number the indigenous population, take control of Parliament, change the laws to sharia; and then ban the use of these machines.
More like $119,545.73 US dollars at an Exchange rate of: 1.494322 making £80,000.00 British pounds sterling = $119,545.73 US dollars.
I feel the streets would be rivers of blood long before your suggested Muslim end game was even close to being realised. What isn't reported in the MSM is that the UK is close to boiling point with the way the liberal elite are running the country.
After the general election that has to be held in may, the next government that is elected to power will have make real and binding promises and progress on this and a plethora of other matters or I can foresee the great people of this nation of mine, finally rising up on their hind legs and making those who think they know what’s best and are so fond of telling us that, quake in their ivory towers.
u are ridiculous, you have no right to say that, 99% of the muslims here in the UK are not extreme people, they are kind and caring alot more than the white british people. they do not want to impose Sharia law, they have high respect for women alot more than white people like me. the larger problem is in the U.S. and that is because alot of americans are racist people and u need to all get over yourselves.
Gary, obviously you have no clue as to what is going on in the UK. Where have you been? A Muslim can be a muslim without agreeing that the law should be Sharia. Also, you have no clue to who I am, let alone a majority of the American population. I'm not a racist, neither are a majority of Americans. We (American's) just speak the truth, unlike you are able to do.
Actually he does have the right. It is called freedom of speech.
If 99% of them are so great, show us the massive anti-Sharia movement in the UK, and please tell us what race is Islam. The UK is falling to Islam, because of excuse makers like yourself.
Another good thing is that Geert Wilders took PM Bos apart in a televised debate. See Gates of Vienna for more information. There's an election coming up in early june. Wilders is going to become the next PM as far as it looks in recent polls. This will be a great victory for the anti-islam movement in Europe.
Alex Deane's comments are interesting. http://www.bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/home/2010/03/fi…
"To state the obvious; I'm not supporting these women because they're Muslims. I don't care what they are. I would stand up for anyone in this situation."
I care who they are – the fact that they are Moslems, that there are Moslems that want to fly anywhere, is the main reason for these machines in the first place. I hope he continues to be flooded with objections and information about Islam. He seems to need it.
It is amazing how many Brits are in denial to the Islamic threat within their country.
They are starting to fight back. Check out the EDL. Of course, the fascist left are trying their best to put them away.

there is no Islamic threat in this country. The muslims here are the most kind people that live here, i am so happy that muslim people live here. 99% of them are not extreme and they have so much respect for women and are very Anti-Violent. I am white, if i have an accident, maybe fall on the street the uncaring white people walk past and i receive no help, but the muslims stop and help me. before you say that they are a threat come here and meet them u stupid person. Americans are racist and thats why u are so under-developed socially, get over yourselves and you will enjoy life alot more.
The facts easily prove you wrong.

Oh yea….you seem so friendly.
Chris
Yes..its the Chamberlain effect.
Hey!! I just made that up…lets use that in the future.
Haha….that is a good one! But as you know we are in this together with our British mates.
You could also call it the Kennedy effect, since JFK's dad wasn’t shy about the fact that he would be quite happy to see my country crushed under the heel of a Nazi jackboot when he was your ambassador in 1940.

Hi Wrath,
Kennedy effect here, Chamberlain. Either way both of our countries are losing this war.
Ah bullticky Chris. We ain't told the rednecks that the muz were responsible for Dale Earnhardt's demise yet. Just wait and see what happens when we do that! The muz are kind of keeping a low profile hereexcept for Florida and there has been a enraged rise of feeling against them there. They keep to themselves in Dearborn too….else they get their asses kicked.
The country is more Sharia compliant than before 911, they are taking over entire sections of some cities, and there are over 30 Islamic terrorist camps here. They are advancing slowly, it is just not as bad as in the UK yet.
More like the Dhimmi Cater effect. He's one heck of a gutless bootlicker!
But he's not so gutless as to have to hide behind an innocent man's name, like you're doing. You're not Gary Rumain, you dickless little cocksucker.
These scanners won't pick up the arse bombs arselifters are trying now. Apparently, they're also looking at using implanted weapons. No doubt they'll make scanners eventually that will detect these but there might be an incident or two before that happens.
as seen by my friend on a border control conference, these scanners are able to see the objects inserted into human natural orifices. they tried mobile phones up the woman, and saw them on these scans.
Thank you for the insight Lenny.
Ah, so they will pick up arse bombs and booby traps, eh? Excellent!
You have just watched a military operation unfold right before your eyes – It's called testing the perimeter.
These two "Muslim" women were the first to refuse taking the Full Body Scanner and were not allowed on their flight. These two operatives did not volunteer for an optional hands on full person screening with airport security in lieu of the Full Body Scanner – both Islamist women simply left without a word each forfeiting a $636 Dollar(US) airplane ticket without a word or a fight.
part 2 next
Yes, testing the perimeter is what it is. For some reason, arselifters seem to have an inordinate obsession with aircrafts and related areas. Its probably part of their general psychosis.
However, their actions are having a desired effect for them – making flying more and more difficult for everyone.
So what sort of psychosis is it that demands you pretend to be someone else? You're not Gary Rumain, you dickless little cocksucker.
Part 2
The normal reaction would have been to exhaust every option to get on that flight and not lose over $1,200 (us). Clearly these Islamist women expected this outcome and were instructed to act as they did. I am sure a future lawsuit will be coming in the very near future.
The battle is for the airport authority to submit to "Sharia Law" and allow Islamists an accommodation not afforded any other groups or individuals. It may not seem like a big deal but if successful it will lead to greater Muslim accommodation demands until the government says No More. At the point of saying NO to the Islamist accommodation demands too late is the next step is physical confrontation and public unrest – utilizing fear and intimidation to yield more and more accommodations until Sharia / Islamic Law is the main authoritarian power in the host country.

Well said, and keep up the great work guys!
I hope the BNP has not been outlawed as they keep picking up more voters and supporters with every election.
Has anyone heard anthing about the fight BNP is having with that traitorous govt in London?
Yes, I'm now a regular at http://www.thegreenarrow.co.uk/ Lots of BNP info (as well as other useful stuff).
I doubt the BNP can be banned. The party's been around since Mosley's time.
i am white and i live in england, and the BNP are the worst thing to happen here, luckily they get less than 1% of the vote and 0 seats in parliament and if they did get a seat there are plans to outlaw them which most people will agree with. muslim people are just like white people but they are kinder and more caring of people.
Only Muslims are trying to impose Sharia Law on your country. They seem so kind when the preach hatred on your very own streets.
It is a bit strange how you keep pointing out that you are white.
Maybe one day the UK will outlaw Islam. Is that OK?
He does not talk like the non-Muslim Brits, that I know either.
i understand it’s to do with security but the fact is people have a right to choose whether strangers should see you “naked” … it’s a matter of privacy in my opinion.
Thanks for finally talking about > UK: Muslim Women who Refused to Take
