Warning: Boycott BA Unless You Want To Be Fingerprinted. by admin2008(m): 11:45pm On Apr 20, 2008 |
BA has relocated all their flights to Terminal 5 which means that every passenger is required to submit their fingerprint or iris scan. Human rights activists and lawyers have warned BA and BAA that it could be illegal, but they insist it needs to be done for security reasons. Most people in Britain are not in favour of being issued with ID cards or having their fingerprints and iris scanned because they feel it violates their human rights and because the government can be careless with such sensitive data. So not only are BA going to lose the custom of most people in Great Britain, but also Nigerians in great multitudes. Besides, how many Nigerians are ready to submit to biometric analysis ? |

admin2008: Man, this is madness, these people are taking it too extreme. Does this regulation apply to everyone, or it applies to people flying in from visa required countries? And, does it apply to BA passangers only, or it applies to all aircraft pasangers? And also, is it practiced in every airport or just some selected ones? |

Vic, Wetin happen? |

Vicjustice: For now it only applies to all flight originating out of Terminal 5 which is currently all BA flights, the other airports are interested in this too but are looking into the legal aspects of things. Nemesis don catch up with BA, how many of their own people want to travel with them now talk less of Nigerians. |

4 Him:My G, what has my marriage got to do with this thread, or is the thread in romance section? ztyle: Pal, how you dey? I swear, i don't know what happened, yet, i'm not surprised that some people could team up to destroy my image with reviling accusations, i know that these people would have loved me if i were a visa applicant complaining to them that i was refused a visa, that is when they would love me: and give their "advice", but because i revealed that i am Irish citizen, i'm a physician, i'm married to an American they now hate me and are ready to do anything to tarnish me. Can't you guys see that my haters only show love toward the people who cry to them that they've been denied the UK visa, how would they love me when i'm immune to such problem? There's a Greek saying which goes thus: "Kapios pou s'agapane alithino, den tha s'agapene mono otan klaiis mesa ta problemata sou, tha s'agapane kai otan hamouyelas" Meaning: S/he who really loves you, does not only love you when you cry due to problem, s/he will also love you when you smile due to success. Also, "H agape, den deixnei mono otan eisai kato, deixnei kai otan eisay apano". Meaning: Love does not only reaveal itself when you are down, it shows also when you are up. But like i said before, my reputation does not hang here, i'm just here for the fun, i'm on holidays hence. . . : i don't care what they framed up against me because, it doesn't affect my life. peace |

The effects of these and other developments are already on British airways, there are lots of report about the chaos in its administrations, and a lot of British Airways flights have been reported to have flown almost empty, and some others have been confirmed to have flown trans-Atlantic destinations completely empty. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/travel/2004013474_webbritishairways14.html Watch a video of BA with very few passangers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvLhkCqzk0Y http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=493357&in_page_id=1770 |
