Scientists: TSA Airport Radiation Doses Are Inaccurate

This week a group of scientists came forward to contend, despite the claims of the Transportation Security Administration, that their full body X-ray scanners at airports are safe, they could pose a danger to the health of passengers, namely cancer. Scientists are accusing the White House of a cover-up in denying them access to data on the scanners, while releasing documents so heavily redacted, they cannot make sense of them.

It has been revealed, the basis for measuring the radiation emitted from the scanning machines are scientifically inaccurate and unreliable. It was also discovered each dose of radiation is constantly changing, not rendering a fix result.

This concurs with what the Judiciary Report first stated on February 2, 2010, regarding the scanners placing flyers at an increased risk of cancer. In all the governments claims of the scanners effectiveness in detecting bombs and incendiary devices, there are items such as the highly potent plastique, which evade detection.

Scientists Cast Doubt on TSA Tests of Full-Body Scanners

ProPublica, May 16, 2011, 2:11 p.m. - The Transportation Security Administration says its full-body X-ray scanners are safe and that radiation from a scan is equivalent to what's received in about two minutes of flying. The company that makes them says it's safer than eating a banana.

But some scientists with expertise in imaging and cancer say the evidence made public to support those claims is unreliable. And in a new letter sent to White House science adviser John Holdren, they question why the TSA won't make the scanners available for independent testing by outside scientists...

But the letter to the White House science adviser, signed by five professors at University of California, San Francisco, and one at Arizona State University, points out several flaws in the tests. Studies published in scientific journals in the last few months have also cast doubt on the radiation dose and the machines' ability to find explosives...

Video Of Justin Bieber Getting Egged On Stage

Footage has surfaced of pop star, Justin Bieber, 17, getting pelted with eggs, during the Australian leg of his "My World" concert tour. The agile young Bieber moved so fast, none of the eggs that fell from above the stage made direct contact.

New Report Indicates Mrs. Obama's Plane Was In Danger Of Crashing

The First Family: Malia Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, President Barack Obama and Sasha Obama

On April 19, 2011, the Judiciary Report rhetorically opined that First Lady Michelle Obama's plane nearly crashed into a massive military cargo jet, which could have killed her (Did Mrs. Obama's Plane Nearly Crash With A Cargo Jet).

No, I was not being dramatic. Three days later on April 22, 2011, the site's suspicions were confirmed, as a Reuters article stated Mrs. Obama's plane was much closer to the military jet than was previously reported on April 19, 2011 and was SECONDS away from crashing into it, had the pilot not pulled up and aborted the landing.

It turns out, the First Lady's pilot was given wrong information from the air traffic controllers, as he was told he was further away from the large military cargo jet than he actually was, which is terrible, as they could have crashed into an aircraft that is the equivalent of a metal wall. To make matters worse, the maneuver the air traffic controllers ordered Mrs. Obama's pilot to make, brought them perilously closer to the military cargo jet, rather than further away. Hmm, makes you wonder.

The White House tried to down play the incident the day it happened, to assuage public fears, but the mere fact it came out at all, said to me that something had seriously gone wrong. As a result of this incident, the FAA will no longer handle Mrs. Obama's planes.

News out of Washington indicates, a plane carrying U.S. First Lady, Michelle Obama, wife of President Barack Obama, was diverted, after almost colliding with a 200-ton military cargo jet in neighboring Maryland. The First Lady's plane was attempting to land at Andrews Air Force Base.

Obama: Somebody's gonna get fired!

Though the incident seems quite suspicious, an air traffic controller is being blamed for the error. This could not have come at a worst time, as air traffic controllers are under intense scrutiny in America for falling asleep on the job. The ongoing scandal lead to the resignation of an FAA executive.

Sometimes when a performer is on stage (and off) and in the moment, they can make funny expressions that are caught on camera. 17-year-old Canadian sensation Justin Bieber is no different:
