Even if the government choose to ignore them. You have no right to submit a person to radiation with due medical reason.

The TSA employees are now having cancer clusters from being near the machines so they are being removed in America. To be replaced with some other less invasive machine!! Maybe.
Number of terrorists exposed after installation of machines = 0.
Australia wake up.... do not install these life-threatening machines.

1.violation of privacy
2.violation of human rights
3.pose health risks
4.have not shown to improve safely
5.expensive
6.involved loss in opportunity costs

I am concerned about the health effects in addition to disagreeing with the use of scanners as an effective security strategy. They are unreliable and a nuisance.

Health statistics of the western world are demonstrating daily that we are in a plague of rising chronic disease and illnesses. We do NOT need any more assaults to our health. This agenda of "keeping us safe" at the expense of our freedom and health needs is not right and needs to be investigated much more fully. Thank you.

It is simply unconstitutional to push people through these scanners.

They intended to get 10,000 signatures in protest. The grand total at the end? 103.
COME ON AUSTRALIA! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE???!!! There are more important things happening under you than football, facebook and TELEVISION!

PLEASE sign the petitions against this disgusting draconian and ILLEGAL mandate - and forward to ALL who you know!

Also, contact your senators, all 12 of them (or 2 if you're in ACT or NT). The more the better. http://www.aph.gov.au/Senators_and_M...-1&gen=0&ps=10

Simply copy and paste the below text and edit as you wish:
There is overwhelming evidence that these scanners cause cancer. This is documented hard evidence which must lead to the cancellation of their rollout in Australian airports. Not giving us the option to 'opt out' and instead undergo a physical pat-down makes this proposal illegal under common law. This was implemented without referendum which is unconstitutional. AT LEAST give us an opt-out!

This is documented hard evidence which must not only lead to the cancellation of their rollout in Australian airports, but all airports globally. Not giving Australians the option to 'opt out' and instead undergo a physical pat-down takes this proposal to the unreasonable and draconian. This is both a health and a civil rights issue implemented without referendum. AT LEAST give us an opt out!

Where are the studies showing the long-term safety of the technology?

I refuse to be exposed to unnecessary radiation for little, if any, improvement in airline security.

You are far more likely to be killed by a police officer than a terrorist, but we are hiding under our blankets because of all the peddling they do on the corporate media brainwashing system. Wake up! Freedom first! - it's got to be our first priority. The only way to actually benefit the collective IS by protecting the individual and their rights - and that is the only true purpose of government. Not a nanny state that robs you.

I am appalled that pregnant women cannot opt out and that unborn children can be put at risk by the government. This has the potential to be just like thalidomide. Shocking. How is it OK to put unborn children at risk to "protect" travellers? Harm the unborn so the terrorists can't get us...seriously???

Some countries are actually removing these scanners because they are ineffective and there are no long term studies done to assess if they are safe.

We will be the only country whereby we do not have the choice.

The Government is taking away our freedom of choice. We must stop this legislation.
