Airport Body Scanners-How Safe?

U.S. Scanners Present Skin Cancer Risk: MDs
Technology not permitted in Canada


Postmedia News; Agence France-Presse -- U .S. scientists warned Friday that the full-body, graphic-image X-ray scanners that are being used to screen passengers at airports around that country may be unsafe, raising concerns for Canadians travelling south of the border.

"They say the risk is minimal, but statistically someone is going to get skin cancer from these X-rays," said Dr. Michael Love, who runs an X-ray lab at the department of biophysics and biophysical chemistry at Johns Hopkins University School of medicine.

"No exposure to X-ray is considered beneficial.

"We know X-rays are hazardous, but we have a situation at the airports where people are so eager to fly that they will risk their lives in this manner," he said.

The possible health dangers posed by the U.S. scanners add to passengers and airline crews' concerns about the devices, which have been dubbed "naked" scanners because of the graphic image they give of a person's body, genitalia and all.

Despite the concerns the warning raises for Canadians travelling through U.S. airports, authorities in this country say scanners used at airports here rely on different technology that doesn't pose a health risk to travellers.

According to the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority, full-body X-ray scanner technology used in the U.S. is not permitted in Canada.

While 36 full-body scanners are in use at 16 Canadian airports, spokesman Mathieu Larocque said they use "millimetre wave technology" which projects low-level radio frequency energy "over and around the passengers' bodies.

"The RF wave is reflected back from the body and from objects concealed on the body, producing a three-dimensional image," he said.

According to Health Canada, this technology poses no risk to humans.

Woman, 82, 'humiliated' by airport security

An 82-year-old woman says she was humiliated by airport security who forced her to reveal her gel prosthesis during a recent public pat-down at Calgary's airport.

Elizabeth Strecker, who was flying to British Columbia after visiting her children last week, says that she will never fly again following the incident.

"It was terribly humiliating and embarrassing for me," she told CTV British Columbia in an interview.

Her ordeal began as Strecker was going through security checks at Calgary's airport.

But when a pin in her leg set off a metal detector, she was directed to a body scanner.

Next, she was asked if she was carrying any liquids or gels, which are barred from flights unless they are in small amounts.

When asked, Strecker demurred: "I didn't think I had to tell the whole world I had a mastectomy."

The economy must have an infrastructure to provide means and ways for society to obtain a living wage—ours has become strongly predatory in nature!

Right alongside the rise of Disaster Capitalism we see the rapid rise of branching out in high technology Corporations taking full advantage of the aftermath of 911 to benefit and expand such technological wizardry of x-ray scanning, dimensional inspection services and x-ray crystal orientation tech.

This technology which is proving to be tremendously invasive both in a bodily and privacy sense to people who incline to the natural freedom to move about or those who must have high mobility in their jobs is benefiting an entire Corporational fleet of businesses.

Dynavision—control screening
AS&E—backscatter technology
ADT—quality control Industry
Gilardoni, Italy—security systems
Heimann Systems, Germany—Hi-Scan Technology
Image Scan Holdings, England—special technology, 3D Imaging
OSI Systems Inc—Rapiscan x-ray technology
InVision Technologies—CT scan, MRI screening Services
Ion Track—specializing in people scanning

This is a small list as a beginning but clearly shows that Bio-Power has taken on a new level of activity, one that will prove to be so distracting to the public because of its capability for ‘invasion of personal space, freedom and privacy’ all neatly wrapped into the guise of ‘needing security and pushing fear’ that once again it holds high potential for great depths of Corporational profit and technology expansion.

Seeing this is a very viable field for money and profit making we would not be overly questioning, if we were to say this will spread to all forms of business that move people around society. Here in our bus and train stations it already is structuring itself, although it is not highly organized yet and seems almost like little ‘test projects’ for information gathering as to passenger reaction and compliance to integration with these systems.

This ‘security meme’ has also spread to all Corporational businesses now requiring people applying for jobs to obtain a CPIC (Certified Police Investigation Certificate) which must be secured by a sum of payment and then is taken into consideration as to ‘are you seen as safely employable’??
Any past mistake small or large is taken into consideration for right to work and if you would like the past erased after the passage of 5 to 7 years it too is a costly sum of $700.00.

We shall all be safe and as usual it’s a ‘follow the money’ phenomenon.

The evidence of the TSA's fakery is now obvious thanks to the revelations of a letter signed by five professors from the University of California, San Francisco and Arizona State University. You can view the full text of the letter at: http://www.propublica.org/documents...

The letter reveals:

• To this day, there has been no credible scientific testing of the TSA's naked body scanners. The claimed "safety" of the technology by the TSA is based on rigged tests.

• The testing that did take place was done on a custom combination of spare parts rigged by the manufacturer of the machines (Rapidscan) and didn't even use the actual machines installed in airports. In other words, the testing was rigged.

• The names of the researchers who conducted the radiation tests at Rapidscan have been kept secret! This means the researchers are not available for scientific questioning of any kind, and there has been no opportunity to even ask whether they are qualified to conduct such tests. (Are they even scientists?)
