When I hear about the poetic justice when a police officer gets testicle cancer putting that radar gun right between his legs. He got what he deserved squeezing the people generating revenue in an dishonest way fining people going one mile over the speed limit. We might see it again with many TSA workers when they start getting cancers from these full body scanners.
This will not be like the Desert Storm sickness and agent orange that killed our veterans. This is not the people who got lung diseases breathing asbestos.These are not the Iraqi war veterans sick getting poisoned by depleted uranium. These people who worked in ground zero were the World Trade Center stood now sick because the air was not safe to breath. Many of these victims deserve a lot of public sympathy because what risk they took and the government refused for many years to act on it.
Now with the TSA and these full body scanners. When they all get sick and try to use the media with sob stories to gain our compassion saying they are ill because they were keeping us safe.They will not get my sympathy. The truth is these TSA employees were told how harmful these full body scanners are and ignored the warnings from countless resources. They chose to believe their bosses instead of many independent sources confirming these machines are unsafe.
The other reason with all the groping and violating basic human dignity reaching into people's pants with unreasonable searches of their person and the theft of their effects out of their luggage.With all the mental and physical cruelty this agency bestowed on air travelers. I do not see them getting any sympathy from the public no matter how many sob stories they will portray in the media to gain our sympathy will not work. These people know better that what they are doing is wrong. They had the right to say no to all these polices that violate people's personal dignity.If many get cancer.That will be their consequence with no pity from the public. I know in the years to come when all this come to a head. I hope they sue Michael Chertoff along with the company selling these machines along with Janet Napotitano till they become paupers to pay for the treatment to all the people who worked for the TSA instead of the tax payers. No sympathy from me like I said.
DOSIMETERS… THE TSA WORKERS NEVER HEARD OF THEM, DON’T WEAR THEM AND ARE TOLD THEY DO NOT NEED THEM.
Monitoring Badges
Radiographers, technicians, nurses and radiologists must wear a dosimeter (radiation-monitoring badges) at all times while working with x-rays machines to detect and measure radiation.
• Wear monitoring badges at neck level or on the upper torso.
• When wearing a protective (lead) apron the dosimeter needs to be worn at the collar outside the apron.
• Ensure the additional individual monitoring devices used for monitoring the fetus (unborn child) of a pregnant employee are worn at their waist and under any protective apron.
• Each employee should review and acknowledge receipt of the monitor report for their dosimeter.
• Retain records of employee exposure, even after the employee has left the job.
• Upon leaving a job, each employee must receive a copy of their final monitoring report showing their exposure for the entire employment period.
• Store dosimeter in a safe place that is away from any sources of radiation when the badge is not in use.
• Never wear another person’s monitoring badge. It is illegal.
• Report lost or damaged dosimeters immediately.
• Do not leave dosimeters in areas of high temperature such as the dashboard of a car or the clothes dryer.

• Don’t tamper with the dosimeter or anyone else’s dosimeter. The reports are legal documents and are regarded as real exposures received.
• If an employee works in more than one facility and wears a dosimeter in each facility, the employee is responsible for reporting his or her exposure from each job to each employer.
SO WHY ARE THE TSA WORKERS NOT WEARING ANYTHING LIKE THESE DEVICES?????? JUST CURIOUS
