How to profitably sue TSA agents (airport screeners)

Post by Jennifer Ruby »

As so many people are on their way home for the Christmas Holidays, this may be helpful to you!
Not only is the Backscatter type Xray very harmful, but these TSA agent pat downs can have enourmous implications as well.
This may be helpful to know...... (Emotional and Physical Health - the reason for this list)

Great Article!

"Ionizing radiation such as the X-rays used in these scanners
have the potential to induce chromosome damage, and that
can lead to cancer," Agard says.

The San Francisco group thinks both the machine's manufacturer,
Rapiscan, and government officials have miscalculated the dose
that the X-ray scanners deliver to the skin — where nearly
all the radiation is concentrated.

"Alexandrov and co have created a model to investigate how
THz fields interact with double-stranded DNA and what they've
found is remarkable. They say that although the forces generated
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."

What the TSA is NOT Telling You about Full Body Scans...

Scientists at the University of California, San Francisco
(UCSF) sent a letter to the White House Office of Science
and Technology in April warning of potential health risks --
including skin cancer -- from the scanners, which distribute a dose of radiation to the skin and underlying tissue.
Whole

Body Backscatter X-Ray Airport Security Scanners: Serious Health Risks for Air
Travel Passengers http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=22153
Our colleagues at UCSF, dermatologists and cancer
experts, raise specific important concerns:

• A) The large population of older travelers, >65 years of age,
is particularly at risk from the mutagenic effects of the X-rays
based on the known biology of melanocyte aging.

• B) A fraction of the female population is especially sensitive
to muta genesis provoking radiation leading to breast cancer.
Notably, because these women, who have defects in DNA
repair mechanisms, are particularly prone to cancer, X-ray
mammograms are not performed on them. The dose to breast
tissue beneath the skin represents a similar risk.

• C) Blood (white blood cells) perfusing the skin is also at risk.
• D) The population of immuno compromised individuals--HIV
and cancer patients is likely to be at risk for cancer induction by the high
skin dose.

• E) The risk of radiation emission to children and adolescents does not appear to have been fully evaluated.
• F) The policy towards pregnant women needs to be defined once
the theoretical risks to the fetus are determined.

• G) Because of the proximity of the testicles to skin, this tissue is at risk for sperm mutagenesis.
• H) Have the effects of the radiation on the cornea and thymus been determined?

TSA Using Dangerous Radiation Levels
-- Letter from UCSF Professors

We Won't Fly until the TSA Full Body Scanners and Pat Downs are Replaced with Real Airport Security http://wewontfly.com/
Backscatter X-ray uses ionizing radiation, a known cumulative
health hazard, to produce images of passengers' bodies. Children,
pregnant women, the elderly, and those with defective DNA repair
mechanisms are considered to be especially susceptible to the
type of DNA damage caused by ionizing radiation. Also at high
risk are those who have had, or currently have, skin cancer.

Ionizing radiation’s effects are cumulative, meaning that each

time you are exposed you are adding to your risk of
developing cancer. Since the dosage of radiation from the

backscatter X-ray machines is absorbed almost entirely by
the skin and tissue directly under the skin, averaging the dose
over the whole body gives an inaccurate picture of the actual
harm. In The eyes are particularly susceptible to the effects of
radiation, and as one study found allowing the eyes to be exposed
to radiation can lead to an increased incidence of cataracts.

Dr. David Brenner, head of Columbia University's center for radiological research, also noted that about one in 20 people,
including children and people with gene mutations, may be at increased risk as they are less able to repair the DNA damage caused by the x-ray scan.
My comment: Remember when they said cigarettes were safe,when they said margarine was good for your health, and whenthey said aspartame was safe. I do not want to be forced to be
their lab rat while they learn from years of use, what the real dangers are.

Wannabe "homoeopaths" are not the only people out to bilk those they're posing as serving. Beware the lawyer bearing gifts of litigation.
The headline on this article is misleading. The only fun and profit guaranteed is to the author. The author's incompetence in his professed area of expertise invited comment, which I've duly made at the article's original site of publication, .

In a nutshell: he can't read, and he can't write.

Good accompanying information, Jennifer. Thank you. Anybody interested in technical detail may like to refer also to the attached document (if it successfully attaches to the message from Minutus), "airport scanning.pdf", which I put together in April, or to ask me for a copy.
Kind regards,

John
