Simon,

We will feature the transcript of that interview this week. Your comments on Dolours were appreciated.

Death of Dolours could be a major game-changer

Marty:

You forever make me laugh, seems your body is in a worst state than mine. lol.

Now for the serious issue of the scanners, they cant use the xray machines everytime a pow is being moved from wing to wing, far to much radiation dose But for them to come out and state a blatant lie goes to show, as everyone knows, what depths they will stoop to.
and now we have one of the Shankill Bombers arrested in Ardoyne over a shooting

Cheers Marty.

I think if, as suggested by the authorities, x-ray machines are brought in, as opposed to the BOSS chair, the risk of cancer would be too great to make it feasible.

2013-02-14T10:59:29.361Z

The question I would ask is this a stalling tactic by the Justice Dept? We know that the forced strip searches and physical abuse of the pows is about brutality and attempting to break them.

The DOJ claims over the effectiveness of the BOSS chair system is at odds with statements made by staff at other British jails.

The Deputy Governor at Woodhill Prison Rob Davis, is quoted on the BOSS chair manufacturers website as saying “The BOSS III detects items which can be used by prisoners to assist in escapes, drug deals, concerted indiscipline and serious assaults on prisoners and staff.” “By preventing mobile phones and weapons from entering we hope to create a safer environment for both staff and prisoners. The scanner, which has now been extended to the remaining seven high-security prisons, is intended to be used in Reception as prisoners arrive but can also be used around the establishment if required.”

If these machines are in use in prisons across England, then why the hold up here?

A great suggestion Marty.

Itsjustmackers a cara bringing you in for a strip search lol even in your advanced years maybe they think you still have a body worth looking at, me I had to start stripping in Luton before they told me it wasnt necessary,I agree a cara its a cop out to the screws and possibly the dup bigots these machines are capable of detecting the balls on a q$£er and thats small....

2013-02-13T21:19:30.922Z

This report should be treated with extreme caution. The use of screws to secrete the offending items seems to me a dodgy methodology. We know the system is resistant to change and capable of producing a desired result.

So, we have waited six months only to find out the machine is not fit for purpose. How can the airports and port be made safe but not the jails? Ford is making a meal of this and is playing with the legimate expectation of the prisoners to see an end to degrading strip searches.

2013-02-13T20:18:27.497Z

Marty a cara, everyone with an ounce of common sense Knows its a load of shite,this is a well planned exercise on behalf of the Prison system and David Ford, to try and demoralise the Prisoners, how many times have they tried that, Returning from France last august, i was taken into a private room for a strip search, just using the same scanner which detected something, It was a Brass zip on my Jeans, and those scum have the cheek to try and say it couldn't detect scissors, invisible ones I would say, and I agree with you, I WONDER WHAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD SAY.

2013-02-13T19:29:57.138Z

These tests I believe are being carried out by screws now a cynical person would maybe be asking what does the manufacturers have to say about what seems as a less than adequate performance by their equipment,especially since these machines are now being used in airports the world over.I to apologise for posting of thread Simon good to see you on the blog again a cara.

2013-02-13T19:01:59.447Z

I hope Itsjustmacker has started a trend. Thanks for posting my test link. I know it is bad blog etiquette to post something off-topic.

As for the body scanners. Surely the items which escaped detection can otherwise be detected using a hand-held metal detector? Why not use both at the same time? Surely that would reduce the 'need' for strip-searches.

I hope the BC tapes court case ends satisfactorily and with reason and practicality in mind. I heard your interview, Anthony, on sluggerotoole which was the finest example of you arguing your position I have heard so far.

Interview

I wouldn't rule out the power of black letter law though.

I am sorry Anthony & others about the death of your friend Dolours.

I thought I'd try to post a link properly. Apologies if the link doesn't work.

It is irrelevant to the blog but if I get it wrong this seems the right time to do it.

Is this the beginning of the end of Ireland's neutrality?

The Death of a Case:

Kerry believes the BC files should remain out of the reach of both the US and British governments. The death of Price presents those governments with a face-saving way to walk away.

I believe Kerry is the ticket to end all this, its upbeat and encouraging.
