Compton effects Scientists: TSA X-ray machines almost certainly will Cause Testicle Cancers in Men and Breast Cancer in Women 25.11.2010 TSA Scanners, are they safe? arstechnica.com/science/news/2010/11/fda-sidesteps-safety-concerns-over-tsa-body-scanners.arsThe United States Transportation Security Administration has recently come under scrutiny for, among other things, its use of X-ray full-body scanners in airports to see through clothes and to detect non-metallic explosives. But are they safe? A group of UC-San Francisco professors recently raised a number of safety concerns regarding these scanners. While the Obama administration attempted to address these worries, its assertion that the scanners are safe appears to fall short. The TSA has slowly been implementing the use of X-ray scanners in airports (so far, 38 airports have 206 of the machines) in order to see through passengers' clothes and check them for explosive devices. Officials have asserted that the machines are okay to use on the basis of the everyday use of X-rays in medical offices. However, a group of four UCSF professors pinpointed several important differences between the medical X-ray machines and those used in airports. They described the issues in a letter to Dr. John P. Holdren, the assistant to the president for science and technology. iraqwar.mirror-world.ru/article/238128

Forget Your "Junk"—The TSA Wants to Feel Up Your Mind The feds' new airport security plan: porno-scanning your face to read your mind. Wed Feb. 2, 2011 3:00 AM PST UPDATE: Stranded travelers could face a new homeland security toy this week. On Tuesday, the Transportation Security Administration announced that it's begun "testing new software" on select airport body-scanning machines in Las Vegas, Atlanta, and Washington DC. The new imaging technology "auto-detects" suspicious material, boosting privacy by presenting potential threats on a generic human outline rather than a passenger-specific image. "If no potential threat items are detected, an "OK" will appear on the monitor," notes the TSA press release. - As of March 2010, the TSA's Screening Passengers by Observational Techniques (SPOT) program had 3,000 "behavior detection officers" in more than 150 airports. - In reviewing the program, the Government Accountability Office concluded that "a scientific consensus does not exist on whether behavior detection principles can be reliably used for counterterrorism purposes." - But the TSA already has plans for taking its face-scanning program high-tech. It's sunk $20 million into developing Future Attribute Screening Technology, a computerized version of the behavior-observation system - That, Ekman says, is where the government might be taking things too far: "Don't try to get the human out of the system," he warns. He recalls how, while training officers at Boston's Logan International Airport, he helped question a man who'd been acting erratically. It turned out the passenger's brother had just died and he was flying home for the funeral. A machine might have labeled the grieving man as a security threat, but Ekman got to the truth more efficiently and personably. - The ACLU has also criticized the TSA's face-scanning efforts as pseudoscientific and possibly unconstitutional. Security expert Bruce Schneier, a longtime critic of airport security, thinks terrorists will try to outsmart the system: "We do this Ekman stuff, and the bad guys recruit people who don't show emotions." motherjones.com/politics/2011/02/tsa-spot-scan-paul-ekman

Haskell Blows Whistle on Underwear Bomber, Government Op January 26, 2011 www.youtube.com/watch?v=gu5l7a7dgP4I contend that this story is just the tip of the iceberg into the US government's black operations to further the Patriot Act, funding for Homeland Security and the TSA, and to keep intensity up for the so called War on Terror. Respected lawyer and community leader, Kurt Haskell, has nothing to gain from pointing his finger at the federal government. He witnessed the underwear bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, being whisked past security and led onto NorthWest Airlines flight 253, by a well-dressed man with an American accent- all without the passenger's proper visa and passport documentation. What the news piece doesn't mention is that the State Dept did indeed put Mutallab on the plane, at the behest of "an unnamed US intelligence agency." Undersecretary Patrick F. Kennedy (Detroit news article was removed from web!)... News piece aired January 25, 2011 - FOX 2 WJBK Detroit, Michigan

Cancer Surges In Body Scanner Operators; TSA Launches Cover-Up June 28, 2011 Further documents illustrate how a Johns Hopkins study actually revealed that radiation zones around body scanners could exceed the “General Public Dose Limit,” contradicting repeated claims by the TSA that Johns Hopkins had validated the safety of the devices. At the time we pointed out that Dr Michael Love, who runs an X-ray lab at the department of biophysics and biophysical chemistry at the Johns Hopkins school of medicine had publicly stated two days previously that “statistically someone is going to get skin cancer from these X-rays”. www.infowars.com/cancer-surges-in-body-scanner-operators-tsa-launches-cover-up/

TSA confiscates cupcake as ‘security threat’ Saturday, December 24, 2011 A 35-year-old university professor was forced to surrender her cupcake to TSA officials at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas on Wednesday on grounds that it posed a potential “security threat.” According to MSNBC.com, the security officer said that the frosting on the red velvet cupcake was enough like a gel to violate the administration’s restrictions on liquids and gels which may be used as explosives. Rebecca Haines, a communications professor at Massachusetts’ Salem State University was attempting to fly out of Las Vegas when a Transportation Security Administration agent confiscated the purportedly dangerous baked good. The tasty but apparently deadly weapon was packaged in a small Mason jar. www.rawstory.com/rs/2011/12/24/tsa-confiscates-cupcake-as-security-threat/

American Attorneys on the Flight Were Witnesses The Fox News report interviews American attorney, Kurt Haskell, who was present on Northwest Airlines Flight 253 and witnessed Abdulmutallab (a.k.a. "The Underwear Bomber") escorted on the plane by a man in a tan suit, after he was denied the purchase of an airline ticket, for failure to produce a passport. Kurt Haskell alleges the US Government was behind the entire episode, to continue the "War on Terror, to get Body Scanners in the airports, to increase the TSA's budget, to renew the Patriot Act," etc. The fact that Abdulmutallab insists on legally representing himself in this trial is truly the classic behavior of a brainwashed patsy, the likes of which we have seen time and time again. Here is what YouTuber, "IranContraScumDid911" has to say about this case: Flight 253 details: * The government of Yemen reports that Islamic terrorists there have been arrested who have proven ties to Israeli intelligence. * The alleged terrorists in Yemen had been in Guantanamo Prison. They were released without trial by the Bush Administration even though they were reported as among the most dangerous detainees. * Abdulmutallab's father, though we are told is a retired "Nigerian banker," ran their defense industry in close cooperation with Israeli Intelligence. * Abdulmutallab's father warned US embassy officials of his son's dangerous behavior; this is corroborated with other US intelligence of warning. * Abdulmutallab's visa to the US was never withdrawn, though he was on a "terrorist watchlist." This would make his trip impossible unless protocol was ignored. * Flying from Nigeria, Abdulmutallab entered the Netherlands without passing through customs; impossible to do without assistance from an intelligence agency. * At the Amsterdam airport, Abdulmutallab was assisted by a man appearing to be Indian, who claimed Abdulmutallab was a Sudanese refugee with no passport (he would not have been allowed to enter the EU without a passport through customs). * This man and whoever authorized boarding without a passport are huge stories we haven't heard. Where are the airport videos of this? Airport security in Amsterdam is contracted to an Israeli company with the most sophisticated technologies who had developed the concept of security profiling. During the flight to the US: * Witnesses reported a man standing ten rows behind Abdulmutallab standing and using his camcorder to film the incident before it began. This important testimony was not pursued to discover the identity and role of this seemingly complicit person. * Witnesses report Abdulmutallab was oddly vacant and calm; typical of a programmed "Manchurian Candidate." This might explain the behavior of the person filming: a "handler" who gave the code for Abdulmutallab to perform an act. Manchurian Candidates are now acknowledged historical fact. Research this if you are unfamiliar with the disclosed history. After the flight: * Witness on flight 253, attorney Kurt Haskell, reports that there was another suspect handcuffed at the airport after landing that the FBI repeatedly lies and changes their story in explaining. Haskell says the detained passengers were told this man was identified by a bomb-sniffing dog as having explosives in his luggage. * The Detroit News confirms the FBI has changed their story four times. * A photo of Abdulmutallab with an alleged al Qaeda flag is from the same organization that previously photo-shopped false background images. * 50 grams of PETN positioned on a seat and cushioned underneath a passenger are tested and would not cause significant damage to the plane. * The US and UK government are using this incident to justify attack and possible invasion of Yemen. We're reminded that yes, Yemen has oil and natural gas reserves worth stealing... www.forbiddenknowledgetv.com/videos/the-law/foxnews-us-govt-escortedunderwear-bomber-through-securitywithout-a-passport.html

So Canada got 44 scanners @ $250,000 ea. with no health or other questions asked. That's $11 million. The instigation of the sudden purchase (after being tested on Canadians in Kelowna, Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day's riding,* remember the SPP) was the Northwest Christmas Underwear Bomber, who later represented the massive intelligence failure.
