How Invasive is this? They’re being approved all over the world. The U.S., U.K., Russia, Australia, Europe and now Canada. Scanners which have potentially devastating health effects have received the blessing of Canada’s privacy czar. They’re being marketed worldwide as the next greatest airport scanning technology. The new scanners will allow airport security officials to lift the ban and cease current restrictions on traveling with cosmetics, liquids and other personal care products that have been considered a threat since the 9/11 attacks on the United States. “They’ve planned this very well,” said health freedom activist Gerard Stevens. “First they spend years making everybody angry and frustrated for restricting carry-on items at airports, and now they launch deadly x-ray machines which are being fraudulently acclaimed as the savior that will allow the ban to be lifted.” Stevens claims that Canadian citizens are being conditioned like dogs into an ever increasing fear-based state of mind. “There is no longer a regard for health or freedom of choice in Canada, as people are slowly being coerced into systematically giving up their rights,” Stevens added. Chantal Bernier, Canada’s assistant federal privacy commissioner, said Friday the national air security agency has successfully answered her office’s questions about the project. The system, tested in British Columbia at the Kelowna airport, has stirred controversy because the scanner produces ”naked” images of passengers. “It is a very touchy issue, and we have addressed it with exactly that level of care,” Bernier told a gathering of security officials and academics. “In our view, these privacy safeguards meet the test for the proper reconciliation of public safety and privacy,” Bernier said. Meanwhile, many such scanners are reportedly using terahertz (THz) waves, the radiation that fills the slot in the electromagnetic spectrum between microwaves and infrared. Emerging evidence suggests that although the forces generated are tiny, resonant effects allow THz waves to unzip double-stranded DNA, creating bubbles in the double strand that could significantly interfere with processes such as gene expression and DNA replication. “Anything that interferes with DNA replication can cause cell death,” said geneticist Andrew Lau. “Cell mutations and chromosomal aberrations would likely be more common once such scanners are implemented.” Lau stated that the cumulative radiation would likely affect passengers in the long-term. In a preliminary assessment early last year, the air-security authority said the scanner project amounted to a “low privacy risk” due to the built-in safeguards. The scanners are already in use at airports in cities including Amsterdam, Moscow and Phoenix. They are also found in the high-security “green zone” of Baghdad and at some U.S. courthouses and prisons. The Syndey Morning Herald reported two weeks ago that the Melbourne Airport was implementing similar scanners that could see the genitals of passengers. Transport security authorities are trialing the new “X-ray backscatter” body scanner, which has been described by critics as a “virtual strip search”. Tests are also being carried out on new scanning equipment in airports across the European Union and Asia with Kromek scanning products using spectral radiation. RapiScan Systems scanners as reported in the Telegraph are being deployed in the U.K. under intense criticism since they can show up any breast enlargements and a clear outline of passengers’ private parts. Despite increasing evidence linking radio frequencies to miscarriage, brain cancer, and electomagnetic hypersensitivity, the Canadian air-security authority says the radio frequency waves emitted by the body scanner meets health-and-safety standards.

As information assets have become a critical factor for enterprises to stay competitive, there is an increasing awareness of information security management. However, they are easily overlooked by those who focus only on the IT side, failing to see that human resources and policies are the most likely cause of information risks, which need to become real enterprise-wide and strategic issues. This paper examines the impacts of an IT executive’s structural status in Top Management Teams (TMTs) on information security risk management. E-Business has made it imperative for IT executives to adopt cross-functional roles due to the increased importance of securing and managing risks to information assets across the enterprise. Therefore, IT executive representation and status in a TMT is necessary to strategically and operationally conduct liaison activities between IT groups and other business units. However, there is little empirical research examining the effects of IT executives’ structural status on managing information security risks. We employ logistical regression to examine the data from 2003 to 2008 with information security breach reports and executive compensation data. We augment this data with IT internal controls information provided by external auditors. Our results demonstrate high IT executive engagement and fair compensation are associated with reduced levels of both IT internal controls weaknesses and reported information security breaches. Second, we find that pay dispersion in a TMT increases the probability of information security breaches, while IT executive turnover is not significantly associated with breaches. As a comprehensive analysis across the accounting, human resources, and information systems literature, this study gives firms new insights into how they set IT executive compensation strategies as well as delegate authority and responsibility for ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets.
