TSA Workers Complaining about Radiation Risks

Some TSA workers have expressed concern about having to stand next to the new airport body scanners for hours every day. The authorities for the most part are issuing reassurances, which are expected to be taken on faith. Most people do have touching faith in their government and the authorities who stand to make nice profits from the sale of the machines. No "trust but verify" for the ordinary Joe. Or perhaps people think, "What you don't know won't hurt you."

It will be remembered that people had faith that the government was being very careful about the nuclear bomb testing in the Marshall Islands from 1946 through 1962. After all, it issued statements that there was no danger to the Pacific Islanders from the testing. The Marshallese have suffered the consequences, and kindly, trustworthy Uncle Sam has not been living up to his responsibilities for irradiating them while misinforming them.
