scitechie — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 11:21:45 +0000

How can Microsoft stay quite when Apple, Google, Sony and many more are already competing in smart phone race. “Microsoft Phone” was rumored months back and going around for so long, it felt like a rumor that would never die, but now it seems that live pictures of such a phone (from Microsoft’s Project Pink) have surfaced, and it’s apparently the Sidekick-like Pure that was mentioned sometime back. This phone will be available at Verizon Wireless, and despite looking like it’s running Windows Phone 7, it’s not powered by Microsoft’s latest mobile OS. There is a download screen for new apps. Would the release of a Microsoft phone change the market, or will it just be a lot of fanfare without much result? A leaked firmware has also been uncovered, and the icons have been pulled from it.

Muslim woman refuses to submit to airport body scan, not allowed to board flight

scitechie — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 07:05:26 +0000

It finally happened. A Muslim woman in Manchester refused to submit to a full-body airport body scanner and was thus barred from boarding her flight. She cited her Muslim faith, as to why she refused to submit to the scan. The woman, who was to fly to Pakistan, was randomly selected at the Manchester airport to be scanned. Another woman, acompaninig her, also refused to submit to the body scan, but because of medical reasons.

In the UK, passengers who refuse to submit to body scans once they’ve been selected for one are barred from boarding said flight. There’s no Plan B—you can’t say, “I don’t want to be scanned, but I’ll let you pad me down or whatever.” Scan or go home.

Trevor Phillips, head of the commission, has told Lord Adonis, the Transport Secretary, that there are concerns over passengers’ privacy and an apparent lack of safeguards to ensure that the scanners are used without discrimination.

These scanners are due to be introduced in all airports by the end of the year. Civil liberties campaigners have said the scans represent an invasion of privacy and their introduction may yet be challenged by the Human Rights Commission.

Another thing to note here that, airport authorities try their best to provide all means of safety and enjoyment to their passengers, from onboard entertainment to wireless internet and even more. But why can’t they refrain from threatening privacy of their passengers. If someone don’t feels comfortable, what-so-ever reason is, with such kind of security checks, must be provided some alternate way to be checked. As in this case these women didn’t refused to be checked, airport authorities must have female security personals to deal with such cases, and could be padded and checked by these security personals for any possible threat. I think it doesn’t cost much and is a easy way to solve the problem instead of making matters more worse. Because where there is a will there is a way.
