Doctor recommends radio wave airport scanners, not X-ray radiation ones
Sorry, Uncle Sam, I refuse to be ionized, The Daily Observer (Canada) By DR. GIFFORD-JONES15 Jan 2010
“………Transport Canada reports that more than 40 scanners will be installed in Canadian airports. Fortunately, all of these scanners will use “millimeter wave” technology. This means travellers will be exposed to radio frequency waves that produce a three-dimensional image of a person’s body to detect hidden weapons or explosives. Radio waves are not the same as harmful X-ray ionizing radiation to be used in the U.S.
X-rays that use ionizing radiation can trigger sufficient energy to displace electrons from an atom. Experts say this has the potential to cause mutations in cells that can lead to malignancy. But no one can be sure how much exposure is needed to cause this change.
And U.S. authorities have not announced how much radiation their scanners will emit. I’m sure that they will downplay the risk of ionizing radiation to the flying public……..ionizing radiation is like an elephant. It never forgets. Every roentgen an individual receives from dental X-rays, chest X-rays, an increasing number of diagnostic procedures and airport scanners, contributes to the overall amount……My advice for all travellers is to tell Uncle Sam they want a pat down — as authorities claim this choice will be available. …http://www.thedailyobserver.ca/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2260513
