Doesn't this kinda defeat the object?
Airport body scanners violate Islamic law, Muslims sayIf this ruling is replicated on our side of the pond, the resultant clash between the home office and the politically correct will be interesting.
Saying that body scanners violate Islamic law, Muslim-American groups are supporting a “fatwa” – a religious ruling – that forbids Muslims from going through the scanners at airports.
“It is a violation of clear Islamic teachings that men or women be seen naked by other men and women,” reads the fatwa issued Tuesday. “Islam highly emphasizes haya (modesty) and considers it part of faith. The Quran has commanded the believers, both men and women, to cover their private parts.”
Still, much ado about nothing really. It's not like any muslim is going to hide a bomb in their pants or anything, now is it?
