And never forget that that also applies to 90% of Thai polititians and all those in positions of authority in Thailand. This is compounded by their probable purchase of their jobs rather than getting in based on merit. Most worrying is that this may also apply to physicians.

 

 

...physicians,,, yes agreed.

 

In the longer-term IMHO the absolute worst effect is from seniors at the Education ministry there through nepotism and job purchase.

At least in Thailand the security use the wand to pat you, at Amsterdam they use their hands, I had rows with them about that, and they threatened to not let me in. As I was not leaving the airport and changing flights, so why did I have to go through security anyway?

i had already done that at Swampy.

Unless you are of a certain orientation, try going through security at Amsterdam airport. ????

The first full body scanners in use at Suvarnabhumi were in the Priority Lane 2016 or 2017 (I'm not sure). There were no way to opt out.

The survey gives you the impression that you have a choice, do you at some airports?

I really doubt that you have a choice anywhere in the world,unless you sit in a wheelchair.

What would be the reason to refuse?

You always have a choice.  Many reasons to refuse.  Maybe I don't want them to see how well-endowed I am.  Perhaps I don't want to be radiated except when I go to the doctor for something medical.

What's the big secret? Yet another debunked conspiracy theory?

They don't let children go through because of pedophiles who would be attracted to the screening job.  It's that simple.  And someone who said they are too small, I didn't see them turning midgets away.

"Many reasons to refuse"

Give me a few serious reasons to refuse the body scanning at Suvarnabhumi that security will accept. Check this out:

If you refused the body scan in the Priority Lane, they would just point you in the direction of the common security check and Immigration,and if you were unlucky you would have to stand in line for 20min. It always took me 3-4 minutes tops in the Priority Lane, and because I am not paranoid why not accept the full body scan? How do they react in US airports with full body scanners if you refuse?

I reckon my pack a day smoking habit will kill me a lot sooner than an airport scanner.

 

Damage to DNA.... wonder if that could get me out of paying child support ?

I don't get health advise from cbs, foxnews, cnn

 

I take it from science literature

 

you think the manufacturer will say to their clients there is a problem ?

 

cigarettes were "safe" for so many decades and your doctor smoked CAMEL or what was the publicity

 

gmo are safe, so says MONSATAN

 

coca cola does not increase the risk for T2D, cancer, etc...  all calories blabla

 

5G is not dangerous and does not cause EMF, says the industry

 

vaccines are safe , that they are the only product forced onto you and they cannot be sued, but the special court , paid by tax payers dollars paid out 4 billion dollar already...

 

etc...

You got one and the only one: "Perhaps I don't want to be radiated except when I go to the doctor for something medical."

 

Full Stop.

 

You must have been in great haste to provide a snarky response, as you apparently missed it.

CBS quoted an expert,and you can read a dozen reports online written about full body scans and the "risks". You are just paranoid,listens to wrong people or reading inaccurate articles online. There might even be a few conspiracy theories that might be of interest.

About 10 yrs ago visited UK and on leaving Heathrow had a random wand check, which displayed explosive residue on my person or on my carry on.. This was when London was a light with arson fires.. I was surrounded by 3 officers. 

 

I was told to go through the body scanner, which I initially objected to, and was told if I don't, I won't be leaving today.. At that time there was a lot of controversy about emitted radiation.. I went through, and got the all clear.. 

Last year my stuff was tested and some tins of corned beef showed up as being explosive. No drama, they just got a fresh wipy thing and all was ok.

What is the point of going through one if you get patted down when you come out .    If the machine is so good there should be no need of a physical search after you go through it .

I went through the full body scanner in the Priority Lane and I wasn't patted down when I came out.

Thais security again dont understand how to use them. I saw them last week at Swampy make an alien take off his flip flops as the scanner maybe cant see through rubber? He couldnt believe it; got so irate he threw the flip flops in the rubbish bin there.

WOW! Very impressive!

Never been patted down after going through body scan, after going through a detector alarm yes,  body scanner never, questioned about surgical mesh which showed up though

You are only patted down if the machine identifies an area for inspection (by way of a box placed on a generic 2D outline of a human on a screen).  Otherwise you are in and out and off you go.
