These Scanner only serve for the Big Brother purpose, and maybe for spreading cancer.

Remember: When a terrorist is payed by CIA, it doesn't matter if you have scanner or not.


You have way more chance of dying by cancer than in a plane.

The fact is: they turned these thing On even without doing a properly research and showing the technology, that should being avaible to all scientists.


So you think the government wants to look at your weiner?  Would you be okay with it if the machines were remodeled to eliminate any greater risk of cancer?

 

Roughly 81 percent of Americans support using the technology so I don't think there's going to be any change about it at this point either way.

humm if it was proved that would not cause any risks of disease AND that they don't store any info or image of your scan, then I would be Ok.

Well I was listening to NPR earlier today and they had a guy on there talking about how the body scanners have been found to have no significant effect on the development of cancer by a couple of reputable institutions.  I remember john hopkins, FDA, and the National institute of Health.  I don't have a link for that now, but I'm sure the story will become more prevalent in time.  The other thing he stated was that TSA policy says those 12 and under are mostly exempt(think like 99% of the time, they only wouldn't be if the person they were with was high on the watchlist) from pat downs.
