Exposed documents reveal Napolitano, TSA lied about safety of cancer-causing naked bo

[Serpo]

(NaturalNews) Remember when Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano claimed back in 2010 that the US Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) naked body scanners had been proven safe by research conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) (http://epic.org/privacy/backscatter...)? A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request recently brought to light internal emails that were sent by NIST to DHS that basically decry Napolitano's false assertion that NIST had verified the safety of the naked body scanners.

Amid the string of emails discussing the matter, an undisclosed sender explains that NIST was "a little concerned" over Napolitano's public reassurances that TSA's naked body scanners are safe. After all, NIST does not test products, and it never tested the naked body scanners in the first place. Napolitano apparently took the individual machine dose measurements that NIST had gathered and twisted them to say what she wanted them to say, which was that the machines are safe.

You can view a partially-censored copy of that email exchange here:

Worse, NIST had actually warned DHS and TSA that the machines were not necessarily safe, and that airport screening agents should avoid standing next to them because of the harmful radiation they emit. It is unclear whether or not this warning was ever taken seriously by TSA officials.

Napolitano also falsely claimed that research conducted by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory confirms the safety of naked body scanners, even though the research actually suggests the opposite. Dr. Michael Love from the school publicly stated that the machines are going to give people skin cancer, and the specific findings of the report indicate that "radiation zones" around the machines emit enough radiation to exceed the "General Public Dose Limit."

One thing is for sure, though. Many current and former TSA agents who have developed cancers are now speaking out against the machines, as they believe repeated and continual exposure to them is responsible for their conditions. Many TSA agents have repeatedly requested that they be given dosimeters to wear that will warn them of dangerous radiation exposure -- but TSA higher-ups have never followed through in addressing their concerns, despite empty promises that they would.

(NaturalNews) In a new twist to the TSA saga to which we can only say, "We told ya so," the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) has obtained documents through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) that reveal TSA employees are reporting "cancer clusters" among their own employees who work near radiation body scanners. At the same time, DHS refuses to issue dosimeters to TSA employees because, obviously, those dosimeters would indicate alarming levels of radiation exposure. So it's better to just keep everyone ignorant and keep irradiating all the TSA employees and hope nobody notices, apparently.

That TSA employees are giving themselves cancer by irradiating innocent travelers is perhaps the most striking bit of tragic justice we've yet seen in this entire fiasco. TSA agents commit felony crimes every single day against innocent travelers, molesting them, illegally detaining them and humiliating them as part of the "security screening" procedures. They're also irradiating them with the naked body scanners that we all know Janet Napolitano openly lied about (http://www.naturalnews.com/032839_b...). As a side effect of that irradiation effort, TSA employees are also irradiating themselves. Cancer, not surprisingly, will not be far behind.

By the way, the best and most timely reporting on this subject is currently coming from Paul Joseph Watson at PrisonPlanet.com, who, together with Alex Jones leading the protests, has been hammering both the TSA and the Texas legislature over these criminal pat-downs (http://www.prisonplanet.com/cancer-...). In an age where nearly all mainstream journalism is little more than comedic shilling for Big Government, it's refreshing to know that people like Watson are still pursuing the role of honest journalism that questions government's lies (as in the Nixon era).

Napolitano lied about safety of body scanners
Why are the body scanners causing cancer clusters among TSA employees? As we reported yesterday, Janet Napolitano lied about the safety of the devices, claiming that NIST had "affirmed the safety" of them. NIST fired back an email that specifically explained NIST doesn't test the safety of products at all! Ever! Therefore, all the claims that these devices were tested and confirmed as safe was complete B.S. from Napolitano. Just an outright lie. Not a shred of truth to be found.

You see, when government has abandoned the truth as a matter of policy, it can only resort to lies to further its agenda. The truth no longer has any place in the U.S. government, where criminals and thugs simply make up whatever lies they want and then pass them off as "truth" to the press (which dutifully reports all government lies as truths). This is precisely the case with the TSA and these naked body scanners. It's also the situation with the economy, the unemployment rate and the national debt, if you follow economic news. The American empire has become what the Roman Empire was right before its fall: A tragic cabal of professional thieves and liars who run the government and steal from the People.

TSA employees fry their own genitals with radiation
Now, even though the NIST did not test the safety of these machines, it did warn airport screeners to avoid standing next to them because the machines clearly emitted doses of radiation that could mutate DNA and cause cancer.

The bulk of TSA employees, who we've already established are among the most intellectually-challenged individuals which are still somehow employable, don't seem to care that they're getting fried with radiation every day on the job. In fact, many TSA employees don't even understand the laws of physics, as has been demonstrated over and over when they tell travelers truly idiotic things like, "There's no radiation from these machines." (True story. This is what one of our contributing writers was told by a TSA agent in Denver.)

Gee, how do they think the machines work? Do they think they're magic? Who needs radiation when you can just use magic to see through people!

The one notable upshot from all this is the realization that TSA agents might experience so much DNA damage from standing next to those machines that they will be rendered completely infertile and therefore have no ability to reproduce. This, the scientists say, is called "natural selection." Those best adapted to surviving will pass on their genes to the next generation, while those who fail to protect the integrity of their own DNA get removed from the human gene pool. I can't think of a more appropriate example of natural selection in action. Darwin eats TSA agents as a mid-morning snack, it seems. So maybe those radiation machines do have a purpose after all...

All kidding aside, there's a kind of poetic justice in the idea that these agents who terrorize innocents will one day find themselves on the receiving end of a chemotherapy drip. It's not that we wish suffering upon anyone, but this is a suffering they have brought upon themselves. At what point, I wonder, will the cancer-stricken TSA employees finally figure out the government is lying to THEM, too?

That's a realization shared by many veterans who sign up for military service with all sorts of patriotic enthusiasm and then one day realize the government has stolen their health benefits and abandoned their needs. Such is the result of naive faith in a government that couldn't care less about the people it claims to serve. Well, heck, I'm not even sure the government continues that "serving the people" cover story anymore. Now, the government openly claims to be the supreme power over the servant people.

one more way to kill people .......... i would bet none of those people who say it safe walk though one
