Minister backs new naked body scanners at airports Security: The scan By Brian Hutton Irish building Olympic park THE number of workers building the Olympic Park and Village for the 2012 Games in London has reached 9,100, with six per cent of them being Irish the highest number of non-British. More than half of the workers are living in London with 24 per cent classed as non-British. The number of workers is expected to peak at 11,000 later this year. The Olympic Delivery Authority said it was working closely with the UK Border Agency to ensure employees are legally entitled to work in Britain. JUSTICE Minister Dermot Ahern yesterday backed the introduction of naked body scanners in Irish airports to expose hidden weapons or explosives. Dublin Airport Authority has put out a 2million tender for the controversial tech- nology which is already being tried out in Britain and America. The X-ray machines produce naked im- ages of passengers which show up breast enlargements, false limbs, piercings, and a clear outline of passengers private parts. Transport Minister Noel Dempsey also re- vealed he was not opposed to the roll-out of the scanners at Dublin, Cork and Shannon airports, once he gets the green light. European ministers are currently debating whether to sanction the use of the machines, which cost around 90,000 each, as part of an EU-wide security crackdown, with both France and Britain pressing for their intro- duction. If youre a law abiding citizen you dont have anything to fear from any technology like body scanners, these are just new meth- ods of detecting things, said Mr Aherns spokesman. As far as the Justice Minister is con- cerned, he continued. There are no issues about introducing these body scanners and other technologies. index.html2.html3.html4.html5.html6.html7.html8.html9.html10.html11.html12.html13.html14.html15.html16.html17.html18.html19.html20.html21.html22.html23.html
