If you want the bullet points, they’re not too hard to remember:
1) People fret when they hear the word radiation, but there are lots of kinds of radiation, most of which is harmless.
2) One type of radiation is plain ol’ light. Radio waves are radiation. Microwaves are radiation. These types of radiation are essentially harmless.
3) The type of radiation cell phones emit is on the borderline between radio and microwave light.
4) Not only is the type of radiation from cell phones harmless, the amount of it is too small to hurt us. Regulations set the power of cell phones far, far lower than levels known to be even borderline noticeable.
5) There have been many careful studies looking at any connection between cell phones and health risks. None has been found. Note: this means direct risk, not things like phoning while driving, while using a buzz saw, while running from zombies, and so on.
6) Cell phone use has exploded worldwide, with hundreds of millions of users. Yet the rate of brain cancer detection has been steady for years. If there were even a tiny connection, we’d see a dramatic increase in brain disease. We don’t.
7) Therefore, cell phones don’t cause cancer or brain damage.

Thats why the TEA Parties were a wake up call.
More like most people just want to get where they are going. Those jokers walking around wearing their three cornered hats are far from normal. .. far from the majority of americans.Hunter/Jumper wrote:

T-shirt on woot.com today... thought it was appropriate for the topic.

right so i flew to atlanta today and had to go thru the body scanner in minneapolis this morning. i dont care but i dont think making a badged airline employee go thru that is effective use of that technology.

Why would you fucking care if a TSA agent saw you naked? You don't know that person and you'll most likely never meet that person again.

Are Muslim women exempt ? last are heard they were gonna be ? Can we check for citizenship while we are at it.
In Aspen some big bull dyke with a crew cut was scanning my then fiance because the under wire bra kept buzzing it was like a lead in to a porno movie, I was laughing.

I don't think many people would be opposed if there was a licensed physician groping them as opposed to a $10/hour TSA agent. Maybe they could even bundle a free prostrate exam in there!Kmar wrote:

I actually had a Hernia and the Dr's Eyes popped out of his head when I coughed, it was liked he cupped 385657578 sets of balls and finally found a Hernia. He was like " Wow ~ you have a hernia ! "Kmar wrote:

Which brings up another point. Are these guys washing their hands and changing their gloves between rubdowns? If not, I'd say thats breaking basic hygienic/sanitary practice (and probably against the law).KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

"TSA Agent"
I guess I shouldn't have included the wage remark. But you should be able to understand what I meant. One of those two jobs requires extensive medical school.
@Brinson: You don't have to strip naked for the pat downs. Methinks you're going to the wrong line!

Dude, being a TSA agent would suck.
Imagine your job is to watch a monitor with naked tourists all day long...and then touch them....all day long.
