From the link:

Based on a back of the envelope calculation with a 50 KVp Bremsstrahlung spectrum and the standard mass absorption coefficients for soft tissue, X-ray backscatter machines will, if widely deployed, almost certainly kill far more people than the terrorists they are supposed to protect us from.

My dentist tells me that unless there’s some good reason, we shouldn’t take X-rays more than one a year. Now these clowns want to blast people with radiation from head to foot.

What is frightening here is they are making no efforts to reassure anyone the radiation levels are safe. They won’t release information or allow independent tests.

Margaret Sanger and the rest of the population control nuts must be happy. The elitists fly around in private planes with no body scans for them, while the ignorant masses are poisoned with radiation and hopefully die younger.

Great way to solve SS crisis.

Supposedly, the techs reading the xrays are in a “remote” locale...whatever that means. Supposedly, they are far enough away so that they don’t know who is being xrayed...supposedly.

OSHA rules do not apply to Federal workers. If the TSA was privatized OSHA would shut them down.

Read carefully between the lines.
