SURPRISE! Media lying, TSA will use even more powerful X-ray machines
AS&E Smartcheck HT. Does this look like a full body x-ray machine to you?
The media is running fake news stories claiming that the TSA is backing down and discontinuing notorious full body x-ray machines. This is false. Once again the media is lying to the public. The TSA is just phasing out their current x-ray machines for even more powerful ones!
The government ordered $215 million worth of new full body x-ray machines last October.
According to the manufacturer, these new machines are even more powerful than the current TSA x-ray machines. They use multiple technologies to detect threats. This includes AS&E patented Z Backscatter™ technology, radioactive threat detection (RTD), high energy transmission and dual energy transmission X-ray.
The EU has already banned full body x-ray machines due to health risks and the high rate of failure. The machines are easy to defeat.
Professor of Biochemistry says that TSA x-ray machines are dangerous to the public.
