Full-Body Scanners May Increase Cancer Risk

http://www.infowars.com/full-body-scanners-increase-cancer-risk/
There are two types of scanners we will have to endure at the airport; the millimeter-wave scanner and the backscatter X-ray scanner. Both emit high-energy radiation and are dangerous.

Body scanners have revolutionized the practice of medicine and has saved many lives, but we must question the governments mandate to have people endure high-energy radiation in a non-life-threatening situation. We must protest the use of full-body scanners on children and young adults as they are at greater-risk of developing brain tumors and cancer from these machines. Cancer and tumors especially in the young will likely increase as more body scanners are being installed on a nationwide scale. There is just no safe dose of radiation, 50% of Americas cancers are radiation-induced.

People with medical implants such as pace-makers should also avoid electromagnetic pulse generating body scanners as they can significantly alter the waveform of the pacemaker pulse.

The millimeter wave scanners emit a wavelength of ten to one millimeter called a millimeter wave, these waves are considered Extremely High Frequency (EHF), the highest radio frequency wave produced. EHF runs a range of frequencies from 30 to 300 gigahertz, they are also abbreviated mmW. These waves are also known as tetrahertz (THz) radiation. The force generated from tetrahertz waves is small but the waves can unzip or tear apart double-stranded DNA, creating bubbles in the DNA that could interfere with processes such as gene expression and DNA replication.

Clothing and organic materials are translucent in most millimeter-wave bands. Perfect for detecting metal objects on subjects at airports, but not so great at picking up low-density materials such as plastic, chemicals or liquid which were some of the items used by the underwear bomber.

Full Body X-ray Scanners provide exceptionally clear views of subjects by combining data from multiple images, but increased exposure to X-rays can also cause mutation in DNA, leading to cancer. X-rays are considered ionizing (penetrating) radiation, ionizing radiation in any dose causes genetic mutations, which set all living cells exposed on the path to cancer. Cancers associated with high dose exposure include leukemia, breast, bladder, colon, liver, lung, esophagus, ovarian, multiple myeloma, prostate, nasal cavity/sinuses, pharyngeal, laryngeal, pancreatic and stomach cancers...

I would stay away of those bloody scan machines if I am giving the choice !

[SunMB]

May Increase Risk? They DO increase risk.

November 24, 2010 - national opt-out day for body scanners

Too bad my Frequent Flyer Miles don't also cover Cancer Screenings, with all this radiation exposure every time I want to travel, I'll need frequent flyer cancer screenings to check for malignant lumps or unusual lymph activity.

I wonder if the Federal Govt will admit responsibility for all the premature deaths being caused by X-ray over-exposure?

They say it's about the same radiation exposure as a typical mammography or dental X-ray, somehow I'm still not at ease with anything the TSA claims.

[SuperElanman]

dohhh The TSA scanners dont use Terahertz! Even the article on the screen mentions mm wave its 1000 times lower than terahertz (10 power 12 Hertz). The terahertz scanners are only in the lab and 5 to 10 years away. An automatic shop door opener uses the same frequency as these scanners and similar powers. So if your worried dont go to the mall! Plus the frequency of light dictates the resolution so images with mm wave only have mm resolution so you cant see pores!

@thunderinthevalley At least they're trying right? Right?

[thunderinthevalley]

@TheArachnoid gov isnt protectingn us unfortunately :(

[TheArachnoid]

@pokervidworld BAAAAAIt's my opinion not yours BAAAAAA. Besides either your a sheep whether or not you mind the scanners or you don't mind the scanners BAAAAA. *noms on grass*

[pokervidworld]

@TheArachnoid you sir, are a sheep.

[ConflictingTruths]

google censorship to see click on view all coments

[lkaa2]

Omg.....world-wide cancer on a massive scale as result of these full body scanners? Can't even imagine the magnitude of this.

[TheArachnoid]

I don't really mind these full body scanners. If the country's enemies are willing to go to extreme lengths to attack us then the government has to go to extreme lengths in order to protect us. I don't about anyone else but I don't mind getting scanned. Besides everything gives you cancer nowadays. Breathing can gives you cancer for god's sakes. One more isn't going to make a difference to me.
