No defensive measures are. One has to attack the source of Islamic terrorism: Islam.
Bruce Body scanners are not a 'silver bullet' MICHAEL HOWIE BODY scanners could help prevent a repeat of Thursday's attacks on London's public transport system but only as part of a wider package of security measures, a leading computer scientist last night warned. Anthony Finhelstein, head of the computer science department at University College London, said there was no "silver bullet" that would make public transport less prone to attack. <http://ads.adviva.net/click/v=300;m=2;l=3513;c=0;b=0;ts=20050709202638> A director at one security firm said body scanners that can see through clothes using millimetre-wave technology should be introduced to beef up security. "The mass screening of people on the Tube is something that is clearly going to have to be addressed," said Neil Fisher, director of security solutions at high-tech UK firm QinetiQ. Mr Finhelstein said a wider package of measures was required, such as improved CCTV coverage, increased ticket traceability and more police officers in Tube stations. "There is no single technological solution, no silver bullet. Millimetre-wave scanners and explosion sensors won't help on their own. They can only make a difference if they are part of the wider answer. "Ultimately, a determined terrorist will always be able to attack any open system." A Transport for London spokesman said: "The technology that allows both searching and efficient movement of people on the London Underground simply does not exist."
