The flood gates will open..testing how much we can be pushed...how much we will allow in the way of indignities and humiliations. If we say this is ok...we are that much closer to scaring us into being a submissive public...into a slippery slope of police state

good info here and stories about what people have experienced

Professor from ASU contradicts what TSA is saying about Radiation Levels

http://www.cnn.com/2010/TRAVEL/11/12/body....

"....Peter Rez, a professor of physics at Arizona State University, disagrees. Rez has independently calculated the radiation doses of backscatter scanners using the images produced by the machines. "

"I came to the conclusion that although low, the dose was higher than they said," he said.

Based on his analysis, Rez estimates each scan produces radiation equivalent to 10 to 20 minutes of flight.


imho....
scanners are invasion of privacy and give off dangerous radiation
the body searches are illegal and are not a reasonable option
security experts around the world say they don't work
michael chertoff if making money and tsa is trying to justify their jobs and the purchase of these machines
