Pittsburgh airport to get body scanners
Full body scanners are coming to our airport. There have been many reports of the amount of radiation they emit and that they are harmful to the human body. I would ask everyone to research for themselves on the amount of radiation emitted from the scanners. Please do not just look at the official response, but all of those from doctors as well. Let us not allow govt. to infect our bodies in the name of security. It has also been proven that the images the scanners take can be inverted to show a fully naked body. Lets remember that our wives, girlfriends and children will be asked to go through these scanners. There have been reports that scanning children actually breaks child pornography laws. Please do the research, google, go on youtube, go wherever you can to get the full story. There is one article I linked to this site that addresses the medical side, but please do not stop looking there. This is yet another threat to out privacy that the govt. wishes to invade in the name of security. Keep in mind this adds NO extra level of security. Lastly officials have stated that these machines can not make copies of the pictures they take, this has been proven wrong on several occasions already. Please do not believe the lies and LOOK into it for yourself. You have been warned!! the rest is up to you. In case you are wondering, I will no longer be flying in airports that use these machines. I hope you all do the same.

“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
This Ben Franklin quote is more relevant today than ever — especially as America braces itself for the onslaught of high resolution, full-body airport scanners resulting from the Christmas Day “underpants” bomber.
Never mind that it has been reported that the scanners would never have picked up the underwear explosives to begin with, and that routine security measures concerning this event were abjectly ignored; we will nevertheless be subject to humiliating, high-resolution images of our naked genitalia viewed by non-health care hourly wage earners in the name of “security.”
In the UK, these scanned images of children actually violate current child pornography laws. There is also evidence to suspect that all of the body images will be mined like fingerprints for national and global databases.
The body scanners, conveniently ordered for our airports by Homeland Security before the Christmas bomber event, are manufactured by Repliscan, who coincidentally is represented by Michael Chertoff, former Homeland Security chief who stands to make millions (if not billions) off of this deal. A monumental conflict of interest, or just Chertoff’s dumb luck?
Enforcement of airport full-body scanning constitutes a direct assault against the integrity of the mind and body of the American citizen. As an intended or unintended consequence of Homeland Security, the loss of liberty, demoralization and control of the people should be recognized as the real culprit that should strike terror into the hearts of men. Once our freedoms are lost, they will more than likely not be returned.
In the words of Patrick Henry, “Fear is the passion of slaves.”
We cannot let fear cripple us into total submission.
This measure needs to be resisted.
Thank you for your comment. That is absolutely true. Continue to fight for freedom.
