- Facts About The TSA Whole Body Imaging Devices
-
- Know your RIGHTS, learn the FACTS, we must put an end
to this illegal madness
-
- Are TSA's Actions Constitutional? - NO!
-
- The 4th amendment to the constitution specifically states:
-
- "The right of the people to be secure in their persons,
houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures,
SHALL NOT BE VIOLATED, and Warrants shall not be issued, but upon probable
cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the
place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
-
- Is TSA Stopping Terrorism? - NO!
-
- Nearly a million illegal immigrants come across the southern
border of these United States each year, unchallenged, while an honest
American cannot fly about in his own country without being subjugated to
an illegal search and seizure at the airport, and get molested/groped by
TSA agents for declaring their rights to "Opt-Out". Not
one 'terrorist' has been caught by TSA.
-
- Is TSA Imaging And Storing Your Naked Picture? - YES!
-
- "It will show the private parts of people, but what
we've decided is that we're not going to blur those out, because it severely
limits the detection capabilities It is possible to see genitals and breasts
while they're going through the machine" -Cheryl Johnson- Office
of Transport Security manager
-
- These "devices are designed and deployed in
a way that allows the images to be routinely stored and recorded, which
is exactly what the Marshals Service is doing We think it's significant." EPIC
executive director Marc Rotenberg in interview with CNET
-
- "Approximately 35,314 images... have been stored
on the Brijot Gen2 machine" used in the Orlando, Fla. Federal
Courthouse. -William Bordley- Associate General Counsel with
the Marshals Service
-
- A 70-page document showing the TSA's procurement specifications,
classified as "sensitive security information" says
that, in some modes the scanner must "allow exporting of image
data in real time" and provide a mechanism for "high-speed
transfer of image data" over the network. It also says that image
filters will "protect the identity, modesty, and privacy of the
passenger." Procurement Specification For Whole Body Imager
Devices For Checkpoint Operations, report by U.S. Department of Homeland
Security, TSA
-
- TSA spokeswoman Sari Koshetz lied to CNET, stating that
the agency's scanners are delivered to airports with the image recording
functions turned off. "We're not recording them I'm reiterating that
to the public. We are not ever activating those capabilities at the airport"
-
- Can TSA Scanners Cause Cancer? - YES!
-
- "Some studies reported significant genetic
damage while others, although similar, showed none" Boian
Alexandrov- Center for Nonlinear Studies at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New
Mexico
-
- Although the forces generated from these scanners are
tiny, resonant effects allow THz waves to unzip double-stranded DNA, creating
bubbles in the double strand that could significantly interfere with processes
such as gene expression and DNA replication. Translation: It
destroys your DNA! -Boian Alexandrov- Center for Nonlinear Studies
at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico
-
- "any X-ray photon may be the one which sets in motion
the high-speed, high energy electron which causes a carcinogenic or atherogenic
(smooth muscle) mutation. Such mutations rarely disappear. The higher their
accumulated number in a population, the higher will be the population's mortality
rates from radiation-induced cancer and ischemic heart disease." -Dr.
John Gofman- Professor Emeritus of Molecular and Cell Biology, University
of California, Berkeley.
-
- Gofman's studies indicate that radiation from medical
diagnostics and treatment is a causal co-factor in 50 percent of America's
cancers and 60 percent of our ischemic (blood flow blockage) heart
disease. He stresses that the frequency with which Americans are medically
X-rayed "makes for a significant radiological impact". -Dr.
John Gofman- Professor Emeritus of Molecular and Cell Biology,
University of California, Berkeley.
-
- Children and passengers with gene mutations - around
one in 20 of the population - are more at risk as they are less able to
repair X-ray damage to their DNA. The most likely risk from the airport
scanners is a common type of skin cancer called basal cell carcinoma.-Dr.
David Brenner- head of Columbia University's Centre For Radiological Research
-
- "If all 800 million people who use airports every
year were screened with X-rays then the very small individual risk
multiplied by the large number of screened people might imply a potential
public health or societal risk. The population risk has the potential
to be significant If there are increases in cancers as a result of irradiation
of children, they would most likely appear some decades in the future.
It would be prudent not to scan the head and neck There really is
no other technology around where we're planning to X-ray such an enormous
number of individuals. It's really unprecedented in the radiation
world." -Dr. David Brenner- head of Columbia University's Centre
For Radiological Research
-
- "They say the risk is minimal, but statistically
someone is going to get skin cancer from these X-rays 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" -Dr Michael Love-, Department of Biophysics
and Biophysical Chemistry at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
-
- "While the dose would be safe if it were distributed
throughout the volume of the entire body, the dose to the skin may be dangerously
high," they wrote. "We still don't know the beam intensity or
other details of their classified system" -John Sedat- Biochemist,
University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)
-
-
- "Collectively, the radiation doses from the scanners
incrementally increase the risk of fatal cancers among the thousands or
millions of travelers who will be exposed, some radiation experts believe
We don't have enough information to make a decision on whether there's
going to be a biological effect or not." -Douglas Boreham- professor
in medical physics and applied radiation sciences atMcMaster
University in Hamilton, Ontario
-
- "The thing that worries me the most, is not what
happens if the machine works as advertised, but what happens if it doesn't" -Peter
Rez- Arizona State University
-
- "[We] cannot exclude the possibility of a fatal
cancer attributable to radiation in a very large population of people exposed
to very low doses of radiation." National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurements, from a 2002 report that studied these security
devices: (http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/AC...)
-
- "Based on our results we argue that a specific terahertz
radiation exposure may significantly affect the natural dynamics of
DNA, and thereby influence intricate molecular processes involved in gene
expression and DNA replication." Technology Review article
from: http://arxiv.org/abs/0910.5294

- In other words millimeter wave scanning devices
may damage your DNA!
