Porno scanners go on the road.
At first I thought these vans were a joke, but they don't seem to be!

It seems like it doesn't matter if you stop flying to avoid the porno scans and groping, because they have taken their nasty little show on the road.

Baby's in car seats, pregnant women or people sitting on a porta potty, nobody's safe anymore.

Video here;

Now we can be bombarded by x-rays walking down the street.

Edit: If they're making this video public, wouldn't terrorists find lead-lined containers to put stuff in now?

3. That is really hard to believe.
Edited on Sun Jan-02-11 12:22 AM by RandomThoughts
If the radiation can see through metal cars, it can go through a person.

Cancer, sterilization, brain cell degradation, are all effects of high energy particles that can pass through metal. When hitting DNA they can cause variations that lead to those effects.

It is not back scatter if it sees through metal.

Sounds more like de-spineing people then finding some criminal act.

Sounds like terrorism to create fear, if real by action, if a distortion by deception.



Hard to believe that is being used, or allowed, I would guess it is a false media story.


Maybe they are trying to create a bunch of spider men?

5. Why do those over-the-top 'commercials' from the Robocop movies
come to mind when watching this?

10. Something is wrong with these photos.
Back scatter X-rays are low energy and bounce off of the skin of a human being. How the hell can that penetrate steel and see inside of a car? You would need substantially more energy, with dangerous health effects at those levels.

Something is amiss here.

11. That was what I was wondering
When I came across the video I thought it was a joke. I even think I saw a porta potty in the video. But the whole thing was so professionally done and then I found their web sight.

Bloody hell! Something is amiss here.

12. The scary fact is that they are real.
Based on the video statement that the radiation dose is the same as 15 minutes of flying, that's quite a hefty dose. Regulations limit the airport scanners to at most the equivalent of 2 minutes of flying. So these mobile scanners are hitting you with at least 7 times the maximum safe dose and do so without your consent or knowledge.
God forbid one stops at a traffic light next to you...
