Cancer Cluster Possibly Found Among TSA Workers

OverTheGeicoE writes "TSA employees at Logan International Airport believe they have identified a cancer cluster in their ranks, according to documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act and released by the Electronic Privacy Information Center. They have requested dosimetry to counter 'TSA's improperly non-monitored radiation threat.' So far, at least, they have not received it. The documents also reveal a paper from Johns Hopkins that essentially questions whether it is even safe to stand near an operating scanner, let alone inside one. Also, the National Institute of Standards and Technology says that the Dept. of Homeland Security 'mischaracterized' their work by telling USA Today that NIST affirmed the safety of the scanners when in fact NIST does not do product safety testing and never tested a scanner for safety."

I heard a rumor that a lot of agricultural jobs are opening up in Georgia. And, a lot of the competition is headed for the border, where they belong. Now, I've been badmouthing lazy white boys and lazy niggahs for a long time. Come on, prove me wrong. Prove that AMERICANS still know how to work for a living.

If you don't fly, the TSA wins. The government wants to restrict your travel through the use of fear and sexual assault and/or radiation inducing cancer.
