Heard about this from lefty friend. Most comments on the page are :rolleyes:. Rehm asked some good questions and some guests had legit concerns. 4th Constitutional Amendment, Chertoff lobbying, NYC scanner ban, and airports opting out mentioned. (Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation advertisement at halfway mark, ew.)

Rehm to TSA Admin: We were told agent orange was safe. Is TSA equipped to handle an opt out?

Diane Rehm - painful to listen too...

Dr. David Brenner about the radiation given off... "10x-15x's larger than what TSA is stating the dosage is, but it's still small amount. You can reverse engineer the amount of radiation required by the resolution of the imagery."

"You multiple the radiation dosage by 300x's for flight crews and frequent flyers and you're talking quite an amount."

2 different types of scanners being used at airports:

40%: millimeter wave machine scanner are suppose to be safe...
60%: Backscatter X-Ray machines... we know the dangers of X-Rays/Radiation.


John Pistole 110% asshole...
