European Union Bans Full Body Airport Scanners Over Safety Concerns, Why Are They Still Allowed in the U.S.?

September 20th, 2012

Because they go great with the GMO corn based diet?

Via: Daily Mail:

Controversial airport ‘strip-search’ full body scanners are to be scrapped after they failed to get approval from European bosses.

Experts feared the ‘naked’ body scanners, which use X-ray technology to show up hidden explosives or weapons, could emit harmful levels of cancer-causing radiation.

The move in Europe begs the question — why are they still allowed in the United States? Hundreds of the devices are in use at at least 68 airports across the nation.

    I’ve noticed that European governments in general tend to be more solicitous of the health of their citizens. Leaving aside basic human decency as a motive, it may also have something to do with the fact that the government is on the hook for the expenses of treatment if such hazards make their people sick.
