Security to Die For:

How Americans Will be Nuked to Naked

By Amy Worthington

 

According to a recent Zogby poll, traveling Americans approve long lines and

gridlock at airport passenger screening points. The majority polled

appreciate delays and hassles of flying today's suspicious skies and feel

safer because the federal Transportation Security Agency (TSA) is in charge

of airport screening.1 These happy line campers should be delighted to learn

about TSA's grossly invasive new security plans. The good times have just

begun.

 

TSA Security Laboratory Director Susan Hallowell recently announced the

agency's intent to use back-scatter X-ray machines for passenger

surveillance. These hugely expensive, closet-sized zappers can find the

plastic bombs hidden in grandma's underpants, while delivering a smacking

dose of ionizing radiation to her breasts and thyroid gland.

 

Snooper X-rays penetrate a few centimeters into the flesh and reflect off

the skin to form a naked body image for TSA security personnel to inspect.

These machines are already being field tested at several U.S. airports,

including JFK, LAX and Orlando.2

 

The most lucrative growth industry of our times is the " terror " business.

Legions of companies lusting for government contracts are churning out

police state technology at a frantic pace. In the last 17 months, TSA has

received over 30,000 proposals for Big Brother technology and equipment

needed to keep 280 million citizen-suspects under careful surveillance from

the inside out.3

 

Big winners include companies whose equipment is assisting TSA's Advanced

Technology Checkpoint Project to nudify airline passengers.4 Digital

Security Systems of Miami is promoting its ConPass Security Body Scanner,

which can perform virtual cavity searches using deeply penetrating

X-radiation. Company engineer Thomas Wiggins says the scanner can detect

explosives hidden inside bodies or surgically implanted under flabby folds

of skin. Wiggins admits that before 9-11, " The thought of using an X-ray

system would have been like ordering our own death sentence. " Now Wiggins

claims that the ConPass scanner " could scan a pregnant woman around 200

times without a health risk. " 5

 

Virtually all passengers and airline crews who pass through airport

screening checkpoints in the U.S. may soon be forced to submit to

compulsory, whole-body X-ray exposure. Some fliers could be " fried " several

times in one day. Frequent fliers could get hit hundreds of times each year.

Pregnant women, infants, the chronically ill and immune

 

suppressed would get the rays. Grateful herds of traveling livestock,

prodded by TSA drovers through federally-funded " nuke chutes, " are expected

to believe Hollowell's scientifically unsupported assertion that ionizing

radiation delivered via backscatter will be " about the same as sunshine. " 6

 

Officials must naturally defend compulsory passenger X-rays as harmless. But

they are signing no guarantees because ionizing radiation in the X-ray

spectrum damages and mutates both chromosomal DNA and structural proteins in

human cells.7 If this damage is not repaired, it can lead to cancer.8 New

research shows that even very low doses of X-ray can delay or prevent

cellular repair of damaged DNA, raising questions about the safety of

routine medical X-rays.9 Unborn babies can become grotesquely disfigured if

their mothers are irradiated during pregnancy.10 Heavily X- rayed persons of

childbearing age can sustain chromosomal damage, endangering offspring.11

Radiation damage is cumulative and each successive dose builds upon the

cellular mutation caused by the last.12 It can take years for radiation

damage to manifest pathology.

 

A leading U.S. expert on the biological effects of X-radiation is Dr. John

Gofman, Professor Emeritus of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of

California, Berkeley. Dr. Gofman's exhaustive research leads him to conclude

that there is NO SAFE DOSE-LEVEL of ionizing radiation.13 His studies

indicate that radiation from medical diagnostics and treatment is a causal

co-factor in 50 percent of America's cancers and 60 percent of our ischemic

(blood flow blockage) heart disease.14 He stresses that the frequency with

which Americans are medically X-rayed " makes for a significant radiological

impact. " 15

 

This highly credentialed nuclear physicist states: " The fact, that X-ray

doses are so seldom measured, reflects the false assumption that doses do

not matter...[but] they do matter enormously. And each bit of additional

dose matters, because any X-ray photon may be the one which sets in motion

the high-speed, high energy electron which causes a carcinogenic or

atherogenic [smooth muscle] mutation. Such mutations rarely disappear. The

higher their accumulated number in a population, the higher will be the

population's mortality rates from radiation-induced cancer and ischemic

heart disease. " 16

 

A report in the British medical journal Lancet noted that after breast

mammograms were introduced in 1983, the incidence of ductal carcinoma (12

percent of breast cancer) increased by 328 percent, of which 200 percent was

due to the use of mammography itself.17 A Lawrence Berkeley National Lab

study has demonstrated that breast tissue is extremely susceptible to

radiation-induced cancer,18 confirming warnings by numerous experts that

mammograms can initiate the very cancers they may later identify.19 Dr.

Gofman believes that medical radiation is a co-factor in 75 percent of

breast cancer cases.20 So why would girls and women want their breast

tissues irradiated every time they take a commercial flight?

 

Cancer is number two cause of death in the U.S. behind heart disease. The

more marathon walks and cookie eating contests we sponsor to fund the " war "

on cancer, the more cancer we get. " America isn't winning the war on cancer

after all, " the Wall Street Journal recently reported.21 The National Cancer

Institute admits that America's cancer rates in almost every category are

rising steadily.22 Airline pilots and cabin crews suffer a significant

incidence of leukemia, skin and breast cancer due to chromosomal damage from

ionizing cosmic radiation encountered during years of flying at high

altitudes.23

 

Dr. Gofman's research reveals a dose-response relationship between medical

X-rays and fatal heart disease, the number one killer of Americans. He found

that X-radiation is a powerful atherogen, causing mutations in smooth muscle

cells of coronary arteries. These radiation damaged cells are unable to

process lipoproteins correctly, resulting in atherosclerotic plaques and

mini tumors in the arteries.24 Radiation used to treat breast cancer can

badly damage the heart.25

 

As Dr. Gofman and other experts argue for improved diagnostic techniques and

equipment to reduce medically necessary X-ray exposure, TSA gears up to

impose frivolous, nonmusical exposure, even though conventional airline

security measures have proven adequate since 9/11. To date, the National

Institutes of Health, the American Cancer Society and the American Heart

Association have been silent about TSA's sinister plan to deliver unlimited

doses of carcinogenic, mutagenic, heart damaging radiation to the flying

public. No health studies are planned to gauge short and long-term effects

of the radiation TSA will deliver to inspect our innards.

 

Big Brother's zap madness is a predictable result of America's post 9-11

security hysteria. But here's the irony: Dr. Gofman says X- radiation has

the effect of " grenades and small bombs " on human cells.26 If we permit TSA

to continually " bomb " our DNA in the name of security, what have we

accomplished?

 

Besides ionizing beams, the feds are also testing other types of

surveillance radiation. A flubbed holographic scanner developed by Pacific

Northwest National Laboratory allows officials to strip search humans with

ultra-high frequency radio waves.27 Millivision of Amherst,

 

Mass., has engineered a millimeter wave scanner using radio frequencies

1,000 times higher than those of an FM broadcast.28 These waves pass through

clothing, packaging and building materials. Ultra-high radio frequencies

include radar, a spectrum of radiation known since WWII to cause cancer and

neurological disability in humans.29 Microwave frequencies are documented by

recent studies on cell/cordless phone radiation to be carcinogenic and

teratogenic (causing abnormal embryonic development).30

 

An example of unexpected health repercussions caused by high frequency

radiation used on humans is fetal ultrasound technology. Ultrasound

equipment bombards a fetus for up to one hour with megahertz radiation. This

radiation, which cycles millions of time per second, can cause mutation and

bleeding in the intestinal cells of rodents.31 Swedish scientists say

routine ultrasound scanning of pregnant women may be causing subtle brain

damage in unborn babies.32 Approximately half of all pregnancies in the U.S.

result in prenatal or postnatal death, or an otherwise less than healthy

baby.33 Many wonder if routine exposure of America's fragile unborn to

megahertz radiation might be a factor, among others, of this shocking

national statistic. Is fetal ultrasound exposure playing some part in the

national epidemic of delayed development in infants, plus learning and

behavior difficulties suffered by millions of our school children? Exposing

the unborn to ionizing X-radiation at airport checkpoints is an even more

dangerous game of roulette.

 

Fedgov's planned use of health damaging radiation on the traveling public

seems especially tragic and abusive to those of us convinced that

 

the War on Terror is a giant con job. Massive evidence indicates that the

terrorist attacks of 9/11 were intentionally staged to justify increased

power over and surveillance of Americans.34 Key NORAD and other military

officials had to be in on the ruse.35 President Bush ambushed himself when

he openly lied about what he knew and when he knew

 

it on the day the Twin Towers went down.36. He has been caught lying about

so many issues that Homeland Security should issue a red alert every time he

is about to move his lips. The Bush administration's ongoing cover-up of

9/11 is so blatant that even Bush's own investigatory commission has

expressed outrage at his efforts to block its requests for vital information

and resources.37

 

Meantime, TSA claims concern that Americans may feel humiliated at being

viewed naked by X-ray screeners. But whatever airport nuke-nazis see through

our clothing is nothing that the undertaker won't see after excessive,

state-mandated radiation puts us " down " for good. Mandatory airport

surveillance radiation delivered to an already grossly ill population would

afford our financially strapped government an ingenious " final solution " to

numerous political and economic problems. No muss, no fuss, this cull in the

Cuckoos' nest. Each useless eater lines up for his deferred-lethal dose. The

weak will die soonest, the strong will eventually become the weak--no

questions asked and nothing proven. It's hard for a Prozac nation to imagine

such sinister motives behind the terror industry, but the documented truth

is, our amoral leadership has been brazenly murdering Americans for

decades.38 Genocide specialists have been especially fond of unleashing

various forms of deadly radiation on the unwitting masses, as documented by

the federal Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments.39 Now here we

go again!

 

Consumers could derail TSA's sinister surveillance projects in a heartbeat.

It's called boycott: We simply refuse to get nuked to naked. If we stop

booking flights, the airline industry must grind to a halt. TSA would have

little choice but to scrap its plans to endanger the national health with

unnecessary radiation.

 

Americans who are still able to think must launch an effort to save

ourselves and warn others. 1. Let's demand that Congress mandate TSA's

radiation experiments be strictly voluntary. 2. We must demand the right to

request that TSA conduct a non-radiation search of our persons. 3. We must

demand our right to abstain from security procedures that may harm our

children. 4. We must initiate an e-mail campaign to convince TSA and the

airlines that forcible assault by radiation makes the cost of an airline

ticket impossibly prohibitive.
