Naked Body Scanners

Skin is the most radiation-sensitive organs of our bodies.
The low level beam which the scanner emits delivers a small dose of radiation
which focuses on our skin and may be 20 times higher then previously estimated.
The EPA has stated that frequent exposures to low doses of radiation
can lead to cancer and birth defects.
Most likely risk is a common type of skin cancer called basal cell carcinoma
Pregnant women and children are extremely vulnerable and shouldn't be subject to scanning.
It's also important to point out that the scanners break child porn laws in the UK
as they are very revealing of the genitals.
So much in fact that Shah Rukh, a Bollywood film star
claims that his images were printed and circulated after being scanned.
Even airport employees have claimed their co-workers are perversely ogling their photos
and face regular acts of harassment
such as co-workers making jokes in reference to the size of their manhood.
Idaho seeks to limit use of the scanners
even amid the TSA fighting to make scanners mandatory for all
such as El Paso International Airport where every passenger's required.

Moral of the story:
Next vacation, leave your insecurities at home.
