This is a good point. I bet the level of radiation is an OSHA violation. Nothing like one government agency fighting another.

You sir, are a mad genius. But really, how long before a class action lawsuit thrown against the government for exposing many to this type of thing? On one hand, I hope it takes a long time for people to feel the ill effects, buton the other...

I would be disappointed if these machines were eventually decommissioned because of radiation safety issues. That's not why they're wrong, and it won't help us avoid these sorts of crimes against liberty in the future. They'll just come up with some new, safer way of violating our rights.

I would argue that it's one of many reasons they are wrong.

I'm equally as concerned about the privacy and civil rights violations. But it's still a problem that the machines pose a physical risk to passengers and TSA employees.
