Alex Takes Calls on DHS To X-Ray Scan Americans At Border Checkpoints

Use of technology to be expanded despite warnings that devices cause cancer

The Department of Homeland Security is set to increase its deployment of of X-ray scanners, already in use on highways, at US border crossings, despite warnings from innumerable health authorities that the devices can cause cancer.

Despite airports moving away from dangerous naked body scanners that fire radiation into the body, damaging living tissue, rearranging chromosomes, and raising the risk of cancer, the DHS is expanding its use of X-ray scanning technology at border checkpoints.

With the technology already in place at places like the busy San Ysidro, California checkpoint, the DHS is planning to introduce the procedure at more locations, with Customs and Border Protection set to announce a new round of scanner purchases in February.

"A 63-page set of specifications (PDF), heavily redacted, obtained by the Electronic Privacy Information Center through the Freedom of Information Act, says the scanners must "be based on X-Ray or gamma technology," which use potentially dangerous ionizing radiation at high energies, and "shall be capable of scanning cars, SUVs, motorcycles and busses," reports CNet's Declan McCullagh.

X-ray technology is being pursued at border checkpoints despite the availability of millimeter-wave machines that do the same job without emitting harmful radiation.

"Society will pay a huge price in cancer because of this," John Sedat, professor of biochemistry and biophysics at the University of California at San Francisco, told CNET. Sedat has raised concerns about the health risks of X-ray scanners, and the European Commission in November prohibited their use in European airports."

Presumably in an attempt to hide the true threat posed by the scanners, the DHS has named them "Low Energy Drive Through Portal Non-Intrusive Inspection Systems," a term Peter Rez, a professor of physics at Arizona State University who has studied the technology, calls "highly misleading".

"To call anything based on high energy X-rays 'low energy' is worse than 1984 doublespeak" because radiation emitted by the scanners "goes right through the person" sitting in a vehicle, he says. (High energy X-rays can penetrate not only human flesh, but steel plates that are multiple centimeters thick.)"

Indeed, numerous studies conducted by prestigious universities and health authorities, including Johns Hopkins, Columbia University, the University of California, and the Inter-Agency Committee on Radiation Safety, have warned that the devices will lead to an increase in cancers.

chemtrails almost every day here in Australia aswell,

im trying to figure out the reasons why,

1) depopulation / sterilization

2) weather control / trying to cause a polar cap shift

3) hiding a possible (Nibiru) heading straight for us.

4) weather control / cause crop failure & reduce food = starvation

@NortSinister

You have to be more precise.

Chemtrail contains:

Aluminum ( fire resistant, blurry chemical ),

Barium ( kills oxygen ),

Strontium ( radioactive, defect male hormones ).

hints: aluminum emp barium, crop, food shortage strontium gay world war 3

@thewulfone The police are the drug dealers, circle auto in Dundalk is an example.

[cometds1]

people should boycott any company using those goons for security

@NortSinister cool thanks dude...tell me when there doing it if possible cheers

How does alex know random shit like that tidbit about Alaric? thats so fucking cool. FIGHT THE NWO!

Do these plastic anti-scanning bags which are used to protect electronic components and hard drives from powerful x-raying machines not work against these x-raying machines in the U.S.?

[THEtimebubbles]

When smuggling handguns smugglers dissemble the handgun and put it in anti-scanning bags. The ones you use for electrical components like circuit boards computer hard drives and so on. They wrapped them up in those anti-scanning plastic bags and put them inside their luggage. They also do the same thing to smuggle mobile telephones into prisons wrap them up in anti-scanning bags.
