Fearful of provoking further public resistance to naked airport body scanners, the TSA has been caught covering up a surge in cases of TSA workers developing cancer as a result of their close proximity to radiation-firing devices, perhaps the most shocking revelation to emerge from the latest FOIA documents obtained by the Electronic Privacy Information Center.
After Union representatives in Boston discovered a “cancer cluster” amongst TSA workers linked with radiation from the body scanners, the TSA sought to downplay the matter and refused to issue employees with dosimeters to measure levels of exposure.
The documents indicate how, “A large number of workers have been falling victim to cancer, strokes and heart disease.”
“The Department, rather than acting on it, or explaining its position seems to have just dismissed. I don’t think that’s the way most other agencies would have acted in a similar situation if they were confronted with that question,” EPIC’s Marc Rotenberg said.
In an email sent to Heather Callahan (PDF), deputy federal security director at Boston Logan International Airport, union representatives express their concern about “TSA Boston’s growing number of TSOs working here that have thus far been diagnosed with cancer.”
Of course, if TSA workers who are merely standing near the scanners are already developing cancer, frequent flyers are also putting themselves in harm’s way by standing directly inside the radiation-firing machines.
As we reported yesterday, newly released internal government documents, obtained via the Freedom Of Information Act by the Electronic Privacy Information Center, reveal that the TSA, and specifically the head of the Department of Homeland Security, “publicly mischaracterized” the findings of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, in stating that NIST had positively confirmed the safety of full body scanners in tests.
In erroneously citing both NIST and the Johns Hopkins school of medicine to claim that the body scanners are safe, the TSA has also deliberately misled the public on the dangers posed by the devices.
Documents obtained by EPIC show that, far from affirming their safety, NIST warned that airport screeners should avoid standing next to full body scanners in order to keep exposure to harmful radiation “as low as reasonably achievable.”
Further documents illustrate how a Johns Hopkins study actually revealed that radiation zones around body scanners could exceed the “General Public Dose Limit,” contradicting repeated claims by the TSA that Johns Hopkins had validated the safety of the devices.
At the time we pointed out that Dr Michael Love, who runs an X-ray lab at the department of biophysics and biophysical chemistry at the Johns Hopkins school of medicine had publicly stated two days previously that “statistically someone is going to get skin cancer from these X-rays”.
“We don’t think the agency is sharing enough information,” said Milly Rodriguez, occupational health and safety specialist at the American Federation of Government Employees, the union that represents TSA workers.
A study conducted last year by Dr David Brenner, head of Columbia University’s center for radiological research, found that the body scanners are likely to lead to an increase in a common type of skin cancer called basal cell carcinoma, which affects the head and neck.
Following the study, Brenner urged medical authorities to look at his work, pointing to the dangerous notion of mass scanning millions of people without proper oversight.
“There really is no other technology around where we’re planning to X-ray such an enormous number of individuals. It’s really unprecedented in the radiation world,” said Brenner.
Similar concerns to those explored in the Columbia University study were voiced in February 2010 by the influential Inter-Agency Committee on Radiation Safety, who warned in a report that the scanners increase the risk of cancer and birth defects and should not be used on pregnant women or children.
Despite governments claiming that backscatter x-ray systems produce radiation too low to pose a threat, the organization concluded in their report that governments must justify the use of the scanners and that a more accurate assessment of the health risks is needed.
Pregnant women and children should not be subject to scanning, according to the report, adding that governments should consider “other techniques to achieve the same end without the use of ionizing radiation.”
“The Committee cited the IAEA’s 1996 Basic Safety Standards agreement, drafted over three decades, that protects people from radiation. Frequent exposure to low doses of radiation can lead to cancer and birth defects, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,” reported Bloomberg.
In a recent letter to President Obama’s Science Advisor, several University of California professors also complained of how, “There is still no rigorous, hard, data for the safety of x-ray airport passenger scanners.” The scientists noted how the safety tests for the scanners were carried out exclusively by manufacturers, and recommended an immediate moratorium on use of the devices until the health risks can be independently studied.

Having a few people wear dosimeters seems reasonable, so if TSA is adamantly against them … something might be up.
In other words, the TSA agents and travelers subjected to large doses of radiation not only create cancerous cells; they also impede sexual fertility in male reproduction. This seems to directly correlate to the anti-men feminist movement that has essentially siezed control of Domestic Courts solidifying the divide and conquer mechanism from ideological, gender, and other aspects.
In other words, this seems to also correlate to an article that discusses how the reproductive population growth drops to roughly 0 by 2030. Essentially, this leaves women or couples who wish to raise children either to drop anywhere between $5,000-$10,000 in genetic assimulation (whatever the proper term is for synthetic pregnancy is created), or reproduction returns to pre-Industrial and tribal methods formerly believed to appease the Gods for a bountiful harvest, hunting, or other for the needs of the tribe, village, or etc. This entailed would be mothers to sleep with the tribe or village Elders.
To put it bluntly, men are being stealthily forced sterilized through the TSA full-body scanners, and TSA agents are implicit in carry out the procedure. It’s a good thing for Soros, Rothschilds/Bauers, Rockefellers, and so many others that the ‘peasantry/uninitiated is forced to seek reproduction through scientific means through synthetic pregancy/conception, or women are forced to sleep with the fertile elite. In this manner, it rather makes sense to encourage young women to seek essentially ‘gold-digging’ in the hopes of attaining riches through marriage as it helps place in a woman’s mind to seek out Elderly men.
From a historic prospective, the male peasantry being rendered sterile means that there will come a point a would be mother will either have to seek medical synthetic pregnancy or submit to the reproduction blessing from submitting to the Globalist Elite. In other words, ladies, you’ll be forced to submit to the intellectual mind of Straus-Kahn in hopes of becoming pregnant short of the financial means to get medically pregnant, a win-win for the patriarch elite.
There’s more ladies. The Bill signed into law under I believe the Clinton Administration enables the Federal Government in the 90′s (92, I believe) that prohibits firearm/archery purchases for anyone convicted of a misademeanor Domestic Violence. Noble, the problem is not all women purchase firearms, and Monarch Control is specifically designed to break women’s will. If you cup this law, Monarch Control, and an introduced bill effectively ex-expunging Juvenille Records under the police procedure to use arrests as anti-DV measures (a false study that was conducted years ago but entails police to automatically arrest your husband/boyfriend for any DV). This means that your fellow feminists at the top consider your family collateral damage as something to the effect of 90% of such families end up homeless in the long-term, and the 2nd Amendment effectively becomes alienable.
Alex Jones’s plea to avoid this divide and conquer against humanity holds more water than many realize.
1). Even if you take every feminist within the peasantry, you won’t have the financial firepower to take on the patriarch elite at the top especially with a monoply over the creation of money and ownership of the global wealth. You are financially outgunned, so who do you think is going to win in court when all is said and done?
2). Do you all like the idea of dropping whatever the synthetic monoply forces your to pay to force pregnancy to occur at the ends of people like Strauss-Kahn? Unless the trend changes, this is the future ladies; you’re either going to drop anywhere between a monoply established price for medically induced pregnancy, or you’ll have to seek the blessing through the financial elite just like the Plains Indians believing such actions would bring a bountiful harvest/hunting other.
3). What do you honestly think is going to happen with these trends continuing?
REID Implants will simply get shutoff for non-compliance in a cashless and highly technological society as Rockefeller said.
Pregnancy will only occur by medical induced pregnancy or by sleeping with the patriarch financial elite. (What exactly do you expect to happen after peasant men are rendered sterile?) Non-compliance will either bring extinction or force more civil liberties/human rights being taken away. At this point, who do you think is going to win?
I honestly can’t put the trends any simpler. I can only say that the future we envision versus the Kleptocracy are vastly different.
If the decadency-complancy of the Baby Boomer generation isn’t reversed, our future will likely face severe regression.
