Radiation giving Full Body Scanners in OUR Airports???

 What next?

Seriously.. what stupid thing that America does are we going to copy next?

Want some real info about the health risks with these scanners?

Okay then here you go...    

The radiation may be measurable to that of a mobile phone, but the difference is a mobile phones radiation permeates and travels through our body, the radiation given off in these scanners enters the skin (less than 15%) meaning more than 6 times the radiation. This puts anyone over 65, pregnant women, young children and breast cancer prone women in danger, as well as HIV and melanoma patients it higher danger. My source stems from the study taken by John Sedat Ph.D & Marc Shuman MD. An easy example is like placing a baby in a bath without supervision because 'there isn't as much water as a pool' Thanks Australian Government...   

 and this by Dr. Deborah Harmes..

This is simply appalling to see that Australia is introducing Full Body Scanners that are being banned, removed, or cancelled in Europe due to medical studies and health concerns over the effects of cumulative radiation. If the countries in the EU do not consider this to be safe for their citizens, why is this being foisted onto the Australian public and international travellers under the guise of 'the war on terror' with no real mention in the Australian media of the verified health risks? Are we meant to just blindly follow the rather questionable lead of the American government with no regard for what is appropriate for our own citizens? I am writing to MPs, Senators, GetUp, various media such as this, and my full list on Twitter and Facebook while trying to spread the word before it is too late. I am currently living in Europe and would rather not return home later this year to an Australia that has fallen in line with the drummed up paranoia of other so-called 'Super Powers' who fancy themselves the leaders of the free world. If you object to this, dear readers, SPEAK UP before it is too late!    And that's only two I found i a few seconds. I could now go to ATS and find a lot more of the facts from the American experience for you if necessary. 

 We do NOT need these invasive radiation machines in our airports... we are not under attack by Terrorists except our own Government.  Wake the fuck up people and get off your arses and DO SOMETHING before it is way too late for anything you could do.

Updating this post with more infor from a Doctor..

1. As a retired GP, I agree with all who assert that body scanners pose serious health risks, such as cancer. Note the EU ban on new scanners based on this concern. 2. I recently went through Manchester airport, which has mandatory scanning for selected passengers. People are separated to be scanned- including young children. I saw a boy about 7 separated from his mother, in a glass enclosure waiting to be scanned. He was terrified, screaming, and collapsed to the floor of the scanning booth during the scan, so the staff made him do it again- two scans, more sobbing on the floor of the booth. He was taken through to the security officer and patted down, still no mum able to get to him. Finally his aunt made it through to be scanned.He ran back to her, into the booth, while she was being scanned- three scans, (then she had to be rescanned because of the interference). At what point is this child abuse? 3. When people like those commenting here avoid interstate trips because they don't want to subject themselves or their children to the risks of scanners, what happens to our struggling tourist industry? Even in America, you can opt out of being scanned. It's called civil rights...

Come on Aussies.. don't take this laying down.. PLEASE!!
