Don't act surprised. The TSA has not been forthcoming about the safety of their radiation-emitting full-body scanners. Steve Watson of Inforwars is reporting on newly released documents that prove the TSA has been mischaracterizing the safety of the full-body scanners.
"New Documents Prove TSA “Mischaracterized” Safety Aspects of Full-Body Scanners"
One of the most interesting aspects of the article relates to the cancer risk of the full-body scanners. Some TSA workers are developing cancers and questioning whether the scanners are the cause. There is also a quote from Michael Love at Johns Hopkins where he stated “statistically someone is going to get skin cancer from these X-rays.” Even more troubling is the apparent effort to hide from the public that no one really knows how dangerous these full-body scanners may actually be.
Anyone with any sense can see that these full-body scanners have the potential for causing cancer. What we do not know at this point is just how high the risk actually is. Unfortunately, we will not know the actual risk until some credible organization actually conducts a proper safety study of these devises. It is too bad the TSA is overwhelmed with searches of the handicapped ladies' diapers, taking toy hammers from mentally disabled people, grabbing breasts of actresses, patting-down babies, and poking around in the crotches of elementary school kids. The TSA just seems to be too busy to worry about whether or not people are going to get cancer from their scanners.
