AAPA warns against use of full body scanners.

The Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA) has warned against regulators over reacting in the wake of the recent terrorist attempt on a Delta Air Lines passenger aircraft bound for the USA.

“It takes real political maturity to remain calm and not fall into the trap of knee jerk reactions such as imposition of new security measures,” it says.

“Additional security measures are only justified when it can be demonstrated that the benefits outweigh the additional burdens they impose on society.” it adds.

Following the 26 December attempted bombing of a Delta Air Lines flight from Amsterdam Schiphol to Detroit, the Dutch airport announced it would be introducing full body scanners.

But the AAPA says “there is insufficient evidence regarding the effectiveness” of full body scanners, “to justify their immediate deployment”.

“Rather than focus on ever more intrusive passenger screening, the key lesson from this, and previous terrorist incidents, is the critical importance of effective intelligence gathering and analysis,” it adds.

  6. I think what you wrote made a bunch of sense. But, what about this?
    suppose you were to write a awesome post title? I am not saying your information isn't solid, but what if you added something that grabbed folk's attention?
    I mean "AAPA warns against use of full body scanners." is kinda plain.

    You ought to glance at Yahoo's home page and watch how they create article headlines to get viewers to click. You might add a related video or a picture or two to get people excited about everything've got to say.
    In my opinion, it would bring your posts a little bit more interesting.
