Read up on the topic at http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2204422/Controversial-naked-airport-body-scanners-scrapped-failing-receive-European-approval.html

Yup, this article is long. Nope, you do not have to read the whole thing. Read enough to get a couple of arguments and to understand the topic.

2) Is it the governments or the private companies responsibility to supply defibrillators in public places? First it was fire hoses, then sprinkler systems, then fire extinguishers, then first aid kids, then carbon monoxide detectors, then suicide prevention phones, now defibrillators.

Read this article: http://www.cbc.ca/news/health/defibrillators-may-be-hard-to-find-in-emergencies-cbc-investigation-1.2443853 and decide for yourself.
