TSA Scanners Shred Human DNA
 
Quote:

Boian Alexandrov at the Center for Nonlinear Studies at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico recently published an abstract with colleagues, "DNA Breathing Dynamics in the Presence of a Terahertz Field " that reveals very disturbing—even shocking—evidence that the THz waves generated by TSA scanners is significantly damaging the DNA of the people being directed through the machines, and the TSA workers that are in close proximity to the scanners throughout their workday.
What next? :(

Ouch. That's not good.


But look on the bright side: maybe the damage to their DNA will have the unforeseen consequence of creating genetic superhero phreaks... cool huh?

I'll take a Freedom pat over genetic mutation any day.

DanaC 12-18-2010 07:22 AM

I'd just take a Freedom pat.

Jackbooted gene therapy for sheeple development?

What did I say? Can I get a WIT-NESS?

It's like... it's like money was more important than safety... Mind = blown.

footfootfoot 12-18-2010 12:31 PM

It's like money was more important than safety, but in reality money is more important than human lives. Safety is just a collateral issue.

Did you see the new plan for carrying weapons on trains? Safety is apparently something to be disposed of in the name of safety.

The plan to carry on trains, is the same as carrying on planes, isn't it? At least that's what I read somewhere. Up until now, if you wanted to go hunting in Wyoming you had to fly or drive, now the train is an option.

Griff 12-18-2010 03:12 PM

It is the same as planes except no search, so honest folks get their weapons locked away and the dishonest carry them on the train... victim disarmament.

footfootfoot 12-18-2010 04:30 PM

How do you expect to shoot buffalo from the train w/o a rifle?

In read some Amtrak stations have metal detectors, this will probably become more common as the airport market becomes saturated. Of course there's the public building market... and the Trader Joe's Market market.

A friend's son has been traveling by train (because he lost his driver's license), and said he has to carry his passport for ID, and they search carry on bags. I take it being a cursory bag check, no x-rays yet, but I wouldn't show my carry permit as a photo ID.;)

So far, 30th St. Station (Philadelphia) has no metal detectors. There are often police doggies meandering around, though. Can dogs smell guns?

They can if they're dipped in cocaine.
