Playing the TSA Cancer Lottery
.
The Japanesse nuclear reactor radiation
leak and the risk taken by the Fukusima
workers, as well as in food contamination,
has focussed increased concern about the
unsafe use of radiation equipment used by
the Transportation Safety Administration
(TSA) in x-ray machines to scan passengers
at airports. David Brenner, Phd,DSr, a
researcher at The Center for Radiological
Research at Columbia University in New York,
reports that TSA's use of the machines will
create an increase risk to passenger by
causing an additional 100 cancers in the
population each year. He calls for the use
of different equipment to screen passengers.
.
At a US Senate hearing last week, Senator
Susan Collins (R-Maine) revealed that TSA
had made reporting errors in the statistics
it has compiled in defense of the use of
body scanners. "That is completely
unacceptable when it comes to monitoring
radiation," Collins said. "If TSA
contractors reporting on the radiation
levels have done such a poor job, how can
airline passengers and crew have confidence
in the data used by the TSA to reassure the
public?"
