Nyeah nyeah nyeah...been there done that!

'Course, monster ain't nothin' to sneeze at either. In fact, when we (monster et al) met for dinner some time ago my cousin was there and she remarked to me later "what a good-looking family!"

My wife tells me the former head of Home Land Security, Michael Chertoff,
is invested in these scanners too, but this may just be a rumor from earlier times.

In light of Point (B) above, this quote from Chopra's Center's web page
could be read with quite a bit of irony.

Quote:
"The inner self of every human waits patently until we are ready to discover it;
then it extends an invitation to enter the luminous mystery of existence in
which all things are ceated, nurtured, and renewed.
In the presence of this mystery, we not only heal ourselves, we heal the world."
~Deepak Chopra

I agree with Clod and Glatt.

If you;d have asked me last year I'd have said scan for sure. But all that stuff about it potentially fucking with people's dna sounds well dodgy to me.

Additionally, a guy being groped can turn his head to the side and cough to get a free hernia test.

I'm lucky to get away with scanning, these days, even with my dark glasses on.
Groping is out after what the judge said last time.

As long as they let me grope all the girls over 18, they can scan to their heart content

The reports are based on theoretical exposure. There is no calibration mechanism in place to check them. And the TSA employees are not allowed to wear dosimeters.

Exactly. And why should they wear dosimeters, comrade? Are you suggesting that the people's backscatter machines are anything less than safe, if not health enhancing? Perhaps you need some re-education?
