It’s national opt out of the pedo/ cancer scanning machines in the US today, it will be interesting to see what happens.
These machines and the invasiveness of the TSA goons are seriously getting backs up.
Now I know it’s a long way away, but, if I may justify myself a little, once these machines are installed in the US do you really think it will be long before they’re all over the world?
For example The CEO of one of the two companies licensed to sell full body scanners to the TSA accompanied President Barack Obama to India earlier this month.
Deepak Chopra, chairman and CEO of OSI Systems was one of a number of CEOs who travelled with the president on his three-day trip.
It’s only a matter of time before any trip, even one to sleepy Serre Chevalier via the closest airports of Turin or Grenoble begins with some intimate attention.
Now, here’s the prediction part – I can’t see the powers that be letting us throw off the shackles of these scans so can only imagine we’ll see another “terrorist” event staged to get these things cemented in position. Printer cartridge on a UPS plane that never flew from Yemen anyone?
Of course it could also be a classic switch and bait. They make the TSA expereince so bad we demand to have our irisis scanned or even get chipped – in the name of security of course.
Here is an article that says more – if you care.
I’d love to be wrong – Rick if I am please berate me publicly (as if I need to ask).

Flying is risky full stop. There again so is doing most things. More people get killed every year by falling coconuts than aviation accidents. The best way to avoid any radiation hitting your body is to line your home with lead and remove anything electrical or electronic from your home, and never go out ever again. Chances are you will probably die of either boredom, starvation or lead poisoning.
