I was at the airport yesterday and I said to the TSA people, "I'm sure glad we don't have the body scan machines here at this airport, did you all hear about the increase in cancer due to the machines" One TSA guys asked me for information and was very interested but one TSA women was out spoken and said it was a lie that they were not dangerous. I asked how she knew it was a lie and she said they had worn pins to detect the radiation when they first put in the machines and that it showed they were not getting any.... she became almost aggressive as if I was the messenger they should shoot. I was very nice and afterwards I realized that most of these people are working minimum wage and probably despariate to have a job....I'm sure it scares them, but at some level they are in denial since they need a pay check... and jobs are hard to come by. At least I planted the seed to make them think.....
It was very clear to me that none of them knew anything about it....

The pool story is really strange......
