A petition to reject body scanners and metal detectors at train stations
On Friday 23rd September 2011 British Transport Police in association with Avon and Somerset Special Constabulary, set up Metal Detectors/Body Scanners at Bath Spa Railway Station. We the undersigned believe that the police have adequate powers as they can arrest someone for being dunk and/or disorderly and, in addition they have stop and search powers of anyone they believe is carrying an illegal item. We therefore petition that due to their intrusiveness, inconvenience, cost and unjust/unfair nature that body scanners/full body metal detectors are not to be used on any other transport passengers than those boarding an aeroplane.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
This duplicates a petition submitted by the same petitioner.
