Airport scanners are a danger to your health and you won’t find me going through one. I’ll quite happily stand there naked if that’s an alternative, but X rays are dangerous – whatever the dose. 
And what about maintenance and monitoring?
In a hospital, machines are regularly serviced. Operators need a minimum of three years training. But you can guess these airport scanners won’t be maintained – and will probably be operated by some illegal immigrant whose only understanding of the equipment is the on / off switch.

America allows a search option – but the UK doesn’t. What else would you expect from that nu-labour fascist organisation?  Remenber how those images couldn’t be kept – but were able to be shown as an example of how the machines worked? Lies and more lies.
Here’s an excerpt from an American doctor who, like me, specialises in trying to get the truth out:-

 

So much for their privacy claims — I hope you didn’t buy that hogwash in the first place. If low-wage airport workers can rape his privacy and get away with it, they can do far worse to you.

Meanwhile, their bogus safety claims are already getting a second look too.

The Inter-Agency Committee on Radiation Safety says these things pose a health risk — and that pregnant women and children should not be forced through them. The report — which wasn’t meant to be made public — also said governments should have to justify their use of these radiation machines.
Don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen.

Remember: There is NO safe level of ionizing radiation.
In other risk areas, provided you stay within predetermined limits, you’ll always be OK. Not so with radiation.
The best analogy is Russian roulette (only with slightly better odds). You might be cancer-free after a heavy exposure – or several moderate ones such as with a series of hospital Xrays. On the other hand, the first, small, dose may trigger cancer. And if it does, will you be able to recall which machine, at which airport, caused it? Of course not.
Even more worrying, because cancer is not something immediately occcuring, what if one or more machines around the world are out of adjustment and giving high doses of radiation? How will anyone know? Thousands of people may be sent to an early grave with no-one aware of the cause, or where it lies.

If you have to fly in Big Brother’s world, I feel bad for you — because the plan is for EVERY air traveler, including pregnant women and babies, to pose for the government’s candid cameras.

Airport body scanners raise radiation concerns

EDITOR’S COMMENT: Let’s make one thing clear here. No radiation is good for you in repeated doses. In fact, the only ‘healthy’ dose is that which we get from natural sunlight. Of course, we have a choice as to whether we expose ourselves to natural sunlight and any intelligent person knows the dangers of over exposure to solar radiation. Why? Because it HURTS!

The lackeys who push the propaganda that these insidious machines are there for your safety are clearly lying as radiation is a danger to the health of human beings. These machines emit X-Rays which penetrate under the skin and people need to be aware that X-Rays are accumulative in the body. In fact there is a ’safe’ limit as to how many X-Rays a person should have.

This is from The Independent, 16th June 2003

“Radiologists try to take special care to protect some organs, such as the ovaries and the testes, from radiation exposure, to reduce the risk of damaging sperm and eggs. The only way to minimise your exposure to radiation is by staying away from X-ray departments. Before you have any X-rays, ask the doctor if it is strictly necessary. If it’s not going to do you any good, don’t have it. If it is going to do some good, have the X-ray and stop worrying. The good it will do far outweighs the potential harm.”

X-Rays are NOT SAFE especially in relation to your reproductive capabilities. ARE YOU GETTING THE MESSAGE?

Airport body scanners raise concerns about radiation safety, but officials at the Department of Homeland Security say there is no need to worry.

A group of doctors and professors from UC San Francisco are raising new concerns about the safety of a type of airport full-body scanner built by Torrance, Calif.-based Rapiscan Inc.

To reveal weapons hidden under a traveler’s clothes, the scanner relies on “backscatter technology,” which uses the ricochets from low-level X-rays to create what looks like a nude image of the person.

The experts said they fear that the scanners may expose the skin to high doses of X-rays that could increase the risk of cancer and other health problems, particularly among people with weak immune systems.

But officials at the Department of Homeland Security say there is no need to worry.

“The risk is so low it’s almost negligible,” said Dr. Alexander Garza, the assistant secretary for health affairs and chief medical officer for the department.

The Transportation Security Administration is phasing in the scanners at U.S. airports. TSA says no date has been set for the scanners to arrive at Sea-Tac Airport, but it likely won’t be before the end of the year.
