1. On the other hand, those scanners stop people like THIS guy...

[monmouth]

2. You know how I look at this? I'll be scanned at PBIA going up to

Jersey but not coming back from Atlantic City. I get on the plane and am sitting next to "Matt" and after about an hour I notice "Matt" has a strange attachment of some sort to his belt. He is now Muhammad and is angry at all evil Americans and wants to blow us all up. TSA employees don't know me, I will never see them again in my life and I would venture to say you've seen one screen you've seen them all. I will be scanned and grateful that "Matt" will not be on my flight.

4. You know how I look at this? Radiation induced cancer equal probability to terrorists.

Guess it's better that I die from "friendly fire."

Edit: Forgot the SARCASM tag. I miss the days when we weren't scared of our own shadows.

[monmouth]

7. That radiation blast doesn't amount to anything more than the x-ray

you get at the dentist or a breast scan for cancer.

[Pholus]

9. And terrorism has killed ~300 U.S. airline passengers in the last 10 years out of how many million?

Both are rare. Don't think for a moment that ANY exposure to ionizing radiation is safe. Every photon has a chance, however, small, of damaging one strand of DNA that then replicates repeatedly. And yes, the chance is small.

But so is the chance that a terrorist downs your flight.

So that's what that ASU prof did with his radiation calculation. And he gets that a given airline passenger has a roughly equal chance of dying from a single scan vs. being killed by a terrorist on that same flight.

So why are these machines essential again? The makers won't even GUARANTEE success (because they don't want liability of course).

[monmouth]

11. These machines are essential so Chertoff can get richer..IMO...n/t

[Pholus]

13. I can agree to that one... sadly. Oh well, you have to die from SOMETHING... :)

17. Pistole:"But if it saves even one job (mine) isn't it worth it?"

[sally cat]

3. I wonder how many defenders of the TSA were poo-pooing the "terror alerts" not long ago? Odd change

of beliefs and/or priorities.

[Bucky]

5. On the other hand, those scanners probably stop people like THIS guy

<== scary

6. Thanks for posting. nt

8. I went through one inToronto last spring. It was a total non event.

[sally cat]

16. Not for everything in the nuclei of all your cells.

18. If a person is that concerned about radiation, he probably shouldn't be flying at all.

"Most of the scanners deliver less radiation than a passenger is likely to receive from cosmic rays while airborne, the report said. Scanned passengers may absorb from 0.1 to 5 microsieverts of radiation compared with 5 microsieverts on a flight from Dublin to Paris and 30 microsieverts between Frankfurt and Bangkok, the report said. A sievert is a unit of measure for radiation."

It is a matter of concern and practice should be monitored, but would it stop me from flying?...No. And think about the exposure we get just walking around outside on a sunny day. It's a scary world out there, but it's the one we have, the one we live in. And the scanners won't be going away anytime soon.

[elehhhhna]

10. Houston & Chicago have them but don't appear to be using them --

at least not for domestic travel. Last weekend I flew both ways and it was the usual deal. But the machines were there. Reminded me of The Fly -- Cronenburg's version.

[Initech]

12. Try fling into smaller airports like ISP, SNA, HVN, or PBI.

[DainBramaged]

14. I think with the furor over these scanners and grope a dopes

the installation will slow WAY down.

[Initech]

15. They wont have them after the airlines start complaining about lost revenue.

Due to passengers not flying. It's all about the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

19. LOL @ Tulsa

:rofl:

Why don't they fix their escalator first?
