The doctors who know something about radiation and its dangers op to be groped and fondled instead of being radiated.


Why does the mere fact that you want to travel by aircraft make you loose all of your rights?

In a radbio lecture, the professor mentioned that the dose you get from this full-body scan is actually higher than what the TSA claims it to be. I'm not too sure about the details though, since the lecture was given a few weeks ago, but I can clarify when I see him tomorrow.
