In the event you were planning on putting an atomic bomb in your pocket during your next flight you may get caught. Never mind congress has cleared the way for nuclear powered unmanned drones to fly over our heads and look in our windows.   Forget that thousands of hand held surface to air missiles some us made are missing from the various wars on terror. And our troops are inhaling depleted uranium (DU) dust. 

Conventional mammography use's x-rays to image soft tissues is a challenging task to accurately image low contrast anomalies. A body of evidence shows the mammography test may potentially increase cancer risk alternates procedures are available.

Security is not an investment. Investments have returns, security is just a cost, and never returns anything but more cost.  The American people and the world have been fooled into giving up liberty for the illusion of safety.

Airport body scanners like those used in Chicago, Denver, Fort Lauderdale and Orlando may pose a significant cancer threat, particularly to children, fair-skinned, those over age 65 and women genetically at risk of breast cancer, many medical and physicist warn.

Just as Saint Patrick is credited with single handedly casting out the snakes from Ireland. Thanks to the TSA professionals you can rest assured your plane is free of snakes and turtles.  But at a cost...

Thought you would drive to your holiday destination and avoid the loving TSA hands on your privates and or the radiation from the security scanners? Guess again! DHS is adding 27 drives through x-ray check points in 2010 and 2011. This is in addition to the backscatter x-ray vans rooming our streets. (Photo Credit AS&E)

We are again assured by our friends at TSA and DHS that the scanners are “safe." 
To date, no independent party has confirmed the radiation intensity and body exposure number from this exotic imaging technology.  Many scientists, doctors and researchers from the fields of physics and medicine disagree with the asserted numbers.   Still, the actual measurements are classified and public reports have been heavily redacted for “National Security."  Odd thing national heath takes a back seat to for “National Security” and the governments need to peek without  a warrant.  How about making health security and body security a prority? 

At this year's supper bowl an array of whole-body scanners, face scanner, long distance iris readers, metal detectors, truck x-ray and pat-downs will be deployed for 'security'.   Games in the past were used as test grounds for facial recognition scanners during the 2002 Tampa supper bowl. [1]  We can be assured a huge array of new Orwellian surveillance equipment we be deployed and tested on unsuspecting fans.

Is security scanning medical experimentation without consent? Airport scanners were quickly rushed in to use with no public comment.[12] To date, actual radiation levels are still classified requests to permit independent verification have been blocked.

In a move placate public concerns Transportation Security Administration (TSA) said that it has begun installing "privacy" software.  To give passengers the false hope of more privacy when they're screened by some of the full-body inspecting machines at airport checkpoints.   Scanner privacy software a great public relations exercise however falls short.

FEDERAL BLOCKADE OF TEXAS! TSA THREATENS FINANCIAL TERRORISM

The citizens of Texas are rightfully concerned about health, privacy and legal search issues created by invasive screening techniques at the airports. Texas the Lone Star State was considering a bill that would make a TSA pat-downs that involves touching “the anus, sexual organ, buttocks, or breast of another person, including through the clothing” a misdemeanor, allowing Texas law enforcement to arrest TSA staff and charge them with sexual harassment.

Tit For Tat: Woman Arrested For Groping TSA Agent Colorado business woman Yukari Miyamae was arrested last week for groping a TSA agent at Phoenix’s Sky Airport. She is currently facing felony charges onf sexual abuse.The police report states Miyamae touched the agent’s “left breast through her clothing…squeezing and twisting it with both hands without the victim’s permission.”

TV, internet blogs are obsessing over "Weiner Gate" ?  While a much larger image operation is in full swing around the world.

New evidence sugests that cancer clusters are developing around TSA  workers who work with the full body scanners. The Electronic Privacy  Information Center (EPIC) says they have evidence that the Department  of Homeland security failed to evaluate risk levels from airport body scanners. A study from the National Institute of Standards and  Technology warns TSA airport screeners to avoid standing next to the  body scanners.

Historic flooding crippled Nebraska Nuclear followed by a fire on June 7th, disabled critical cooling to pool storing highly radioactive spent fuel materials.  Like Fukushima loss of cooling exposed fuel rods allowing temperatures to reach thousands of degrees releasing a family of radioactive isotopes.  Adding water to hot fuel rods generates hydrogen gas that can be explosive.

The year is not 2084 you are not on your way to a  Mars vacation.  But, the total recall techology previewed in the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie is HERE today!

The sun is starting to wake up.  Magnetic storms periodically release large emissions of charged particle.  It takes a few days for the particles to reach earth and collides with the upper atmosphere.  Living at higher latitudes and flying at higher altitudes increases your radiation exposure.

Independence day 4th Amendment

The story of mankind is that of long periods of peace and prosperity interrupted by invasions followed by people throwing off the invaders. The story of America is symbolic of the universal human quest for liberty, prosperity and independence.   

 Today  a panel of experts from World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer reported today that Cellphones possibly cause cancer.  

We are assured by TSA airport x-ray radiation dose is "safe" and scanners are FDA approved. USDA and FDA permits arsenic a known poison to be added to chicken feed.  Both arsenic and scanner radiation are linked to skin cancer and other health issues.   Trust US...

Amputees worry about airport security screening health risk.  

People with prosthetic limbs complain about the CastScope, a screening device, that uses backscatter X-ray technology to identify security threats concealed in a prosthetic, cast or bandage. They are correctly concerned about radiation exposure, the length of time it takes to be screened and a lack of qualified personnel operating the devices.

We are told by TSA/DHS the x-ray radiation is not penetrating.  If just a few cm or about an inch into the body is not penetrating then this is true.   Or the dose is "insignificant", trust us.  DHS/TSA are security experts not physicists not surprising the statements are lacking and or misleading. 

Study Findings: Cancer Can Begin in Sudden Catastrophic Event

Much mystery and controversy still surrounds the airport security dose.  X-rays are short wavelength high energy photons that occupy the upper region of the electromagnetic spectrum.  Terahertz/mm-wave scanners use radiation below visible and just above microwaves.

Iodine is responsible for the production for all of the hormones in the body. Adequate levels are necessary for proper immune function as well as warding off bacteria, parasites, viruses and cancer. Now with trace amounts of radioactive isotopes iodine-131 and 129 being released from reactors in Japan and others, fortunately for now the levels are very low in the US.

Japanese authorities have announced radiation leak from loss of coolant to nuclear reactor whose cooling facilities have been crippled by the deadly earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan Friday afternoon. The loss of power to cooling equipment made the buildup of pressure inevitable it was not clear that the explosion reported 12 March was a result of reactor over pressure or some other failure.  Plant operators have reported radiation releases.  Updated fallout map with massive explosion of MOX reactor #3.
