More TSA lies...

Okay, so y'all know how I feel about backscatter X-ray. It is potentially dangerous (the dose is very low, but according to the linear no-threshold model for radiation risks, it WILL cause some people to get cancer. Granted I'm not 100% convinced that LNT is accurate, but still). It is a huge privacy invasion. I'd urge anyone to opt for a pat-down instead, no matter how degrading it seems. Especially for children, who are more at risk from any radiation hazard. But let's add the TSA lying to the mix:



I want to make VERY clear the contradiction even CNN doesn't call them out on. The TSA claims the machines aren't networked and don't have transmission ability. They also claim that the images are viewed remotely. Which means that clearly they are transmitting the images over a network. End of story.
