I have a few issues with this article. I wonder if anyone else see's what I see? Let me know? Here are my issues.
These are excerpts from the article. http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/01/17/nypd-testing-gun-scanning-technology/
"The NYPD is stepping up their war against illegal guns, with a new tool that could detect weapons on someone as they walk down the street."
There is a war against illegal guns? The average fluoride head reading this would think that all guns are illegal. They imply that there is a war! The average fluoride head associates that with we need military force to deal with this.
“I think it’s good. People will be safer and it will be a safer environment,” Jessica Ramos said.
“If it’s going to make us safer as citizens I’m okay with that,” said Lori Sampson of Lake Ronkonkoma.
“I think it’s all about invading people’s lives more and more and more,” Antonio Gabriel said.
“It’s definitely a privacy issue, but it’s for our safety. So it’s just one of those things, a double-edged sword,” added Clarence Moore of Union, N.J.
They put quotes in the article that make it seem that John Q public thinks it is OK as long as they are safer. No one questioning whether there is a war on guns. The one guy against it is only raising privacy issues. No one asking about why everyone needs to be a suspect.
"Police Commissioner Kelly said the scanner would only be used in reasonably suspicious circumstances and could cut down on the number of stop-and-frisks on the street."
Hey Kelly, what is reasonably suspicious circumstances? I need a definition of those circumstances.
"People on the street have differing opinions on the price they’d be willing to pay for safety."
Code speak for we will give up our rights in the name of keeping us SAFE. ????????????????????????
"“I think it’s good. I think if someone has something to hide and they’re going to worry about it, who cares?” Robert McDougall added."
This guy Robert McDougall definitely works for home land security!
And to top it all off, the true nature of the article comes out.
"The Department of Defense is also researching the Terahertz technology to detect suicide bombers wearing explosives."
The D.O.F. wants to use it to detect suicide bombers. If you are not hiding a bomb then there should not be any problem with having naked body scanners on the streets of America.
WHAT? YOU ARE AGAINST THIS? YOU MUST BE WITH THE TERRORIST!
Just some of my thoughts.
