The curious thing is at first they are talking about the BODY scanners but those haven't been deployed for 9 years. But then they reference the BAGGAGE XRAY machines which have been in use longer. We only just marked the 10th anniversary of 9/11 so to take a sampling back 9 years seems odd. My airport didn't get the baggage scanners for 4 or 5 years after 9/11. |
Cologal, I referenced another website in the original post and you could just have easily pointed to that one. I printed the UK story as it was the only mainstream media source to write about this development.
The original post references the story that revealed the reports that the TSA was forced to acknowledge due to the Freedom of Informations Act.
This is the TSA's own acknowledgement of the reported cancer clusters among their own employees at these machines.
I love when people pick and choose the point of a thread to dispute and miss the elephant in the room.
