Contact TSA About CT Scanners at airports --Rapiscan

[Guest guest]

Recenty,

I sent out an email regarding contacting the airlines to express your opinion

of the CT Scanners, which will give you 100 times the radiation exposure of an

X-ray.

 

One of the airlines provided the following

info to contact the TSA. I will contact them also, but you know a huge

company has more power than we little folks, so let the airlines know your

opinion as well as the TSA.

 

 

To

ensure that your comments regarding the CT Scanners are properly handled,

please contact the Transportation Security

Administration directly at:

CT scanners

(Rapiscan) 100 X the X-Ray radiation dosage!!!

==========

Despite the clearance of some CT scanners (Rapiscan), the FDA’s

website shows that no data has ever been presented to the agency as

to the safety of these devices and states that it has never approved

these devices as being safe because some Food and Drug

Administration officials were worried that full-body CT screening

scans (Rapiscans) may be exposing thousands of Americans to

unnecessary and potentially dangerous radiation and that CT scans

of the chest delivered 100 times the radiation of a

conventional

chest x-ray between .2 to 2 rads of

radiation during a single scan.

The government has been forcing

prisoners, the majority of whom

are Blacks and Hispanics, to be subject of these types of inhumane

experiments for years. They recall the Tuskegee

experiments, where

400 Black men were allowed to suffer with syphilis for 40 years so

that doctors could study the disease. Also, Dr.

Albert Kilgman, at

Holmesburg Prison near Philadelphia,

under the direction of major

pharmaceutical companies like Merck and Dupont, exposed Black

prisoners to herpes, gonorrhea, malaria, dysentery and even

athlete’s foot from the 1950s to the 1970s.

The Rapiscan Secure 1000 has been called a virtual strip search.

It shows a person’s private parts but obscures the face. Bush’s

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff heads the so-called full

body scanner lobby.

 

In Illinois,

federal judges have allowed at least two lawsuits to

proceed against correctional officials for using full body scanners

to reveal the anatomy of both prisoners and visitors without removing

their clothing. This is the very same device that airports are

seeking to implement on some inbound flights to the United States.

 

The cases of Young v. County

of Cook, 2009 U.S. Dist.

Lexis 64404

(N.D. 111.), and Zboralshi v. Monohan, 616 Supp.2d 792, 798 (2006,

N.D. Ill), explain, Rapiscan is a machine that uses back-

scatter x-ray technology to conduct a body scan. There is no

significant difference between using Rapiscan and computer tomography

(CT scan) whole body scanning.

 

Despite the clearance of some CT scanners (Rapiscan), the FDA’s
