But they can't rule out other causes, nor are they trying very hard. Kinda like global warming. Find the emotional argument and milk it.

This has been the case for years in several countries in Europe and Asia.

I used to bring back cigarette packs from overseas to a buddy of mine who thought it was just so fucking hilarious that there was a picture of a dead guy with a hole the size of a tangerine in his neck right on the box.

Oddly enough, it's almost as if the pictures encourage smoking, based on the prevalence of the habit in those places.

They have those pictures on Canadian cigarettes already. I have no idea what affect they have on non-smokers, but smokers don't really care. They have multiple pictures so it was almost like a game when they first came out to see what picture you were getting.

Here's a link to a study NIOSH did. The results are pretty much what's been stated. The machines are poorly maintained and some release more radiation than they should have. Poor work practices were noted such as reaching into the machine too far. They also put dosimeters on employees at six airports which did show radiation exposure, in a couple instance exceeding the public limit.

Sounds like TSA has pretty clearly violated labor laws if they had no rad-control program at all, when clearly there is potential (it's also one of the things cited in the NIOSH report).

Gonna see what OSHA has to say....

Edit - just a note. the NIOSH study was done in 2008, prior to the full-body scanners being in the airports in force.

I think there's a filter on URLS that are *wars.com because of the various crappy online "games" where you get points from sign-ups and people spam forums saying "Join my guild/clan/team/zoo!!"

Their karma is already in sub-default from when they started doing the full body scans. If they do have adverse health effects as a result it's going to be a big payday for them (lawsuit). Even though people aren't happy with what they do, they don't deserve to be poisoned. I hope they'll be OK.
