TSA staff raised concerns about incidences of employees developing cancer, strokes, and heart disease. The TSA officially dismissed the concerns by stating, "Because TSA systems comply with federal regulations, the increased risk of developing radiation-induced cancer in later life is extremely small, no greater than other risks people routinely accept in their daily lives".
This statement essentially says, "Regardless of the health problems you are seeing, the federal government says the machines are safe, so they are safe."
What if it turns out that for the first time in history, the federal government is wrong about something? What if thousands of TSA workers begin developing cancer in the next few years and millions of frequent flyers eventually develop similar problems?
