Scientists: TSA Airport Radiation Doses Are Inaccurate


    (Photo Credit: Design Bot Creative)

    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...

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.

Did Mrs. Obama's Plane Nearly Crash With A Cargo Jet


    U.S. First Lady, Michelle Obama to President Barack Obama: You need to fix this. I was almost bird food!

    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.

Dwayne Wade And Chris Bosh Visit Other Teams


    Dwayne Wade (left) and Chris Bosh (right)

    Miami Heat basketball player, Dwayne Wade, was spotted in his native Illinois, along with former Toronto Raptor, Chris Bosh, talking to the Chicago Bulls management about a possible deal.

    The staff at Miami International Airport is fired! Who let Wade leave the airport. What do the taxpayers of Miami pay your salaries for. You should have put Dwayne on the Terrorist No Fly List or something, detained him for questioning, then asked him if he is affiliated with any terror organizations, such as the Taliban, Publisher's Clearing House, the Chicago Bulls or the New York Knicks. Improvise people, improvise! (I'm just joking). It's not like the list is accurate, anyway.

Times Square Terrorist Arrested

    Faisil Shahzad

    Faisil Shahzad, the man that tried to blow up Times Square in New York last Saturday, May 2, 2010, has been apprehended by American authorities, as he attempted to board an Emirates airplane to Dubai, at John F. Kennedy Airport, en route to his homeland, Pakistan.

    Shazhard, became a U.S. citizen one year ago. He has been living in America for years. He went to the University of Bridgeport, in the U.S. state of Connecticut. He obtain a degree in Computer Applications and Information Systems and later earned an MBA. He is married with two children and his home was foreclosed upon last year.

    Eric Holder, sporting his standard "deer in headlights" look: we found out about it when you did

    Shazhard, the prime suspect in the attempted bombing, told the FBI he acted alone.However, additional arrests have been made in America and Pakistan, regarding this terrible incident.

    The timer on Shahzad's bomb (yes, really)

    The bomb looked like it was made by Wiley Coyote. If this dude did not have the brain power of Britney Spears, the bomb would have gone off. He deserves life in prison for the attempted mass murder of people in New York.

    Wiley Coyote

    In watching the news on Saturday, one of my relatives was concerned the suspect, may have fled the country. I stated in response, the airport is the worst place to go when one commits a crime in a major country, as APBs will be issued. One would simply turn up at the airport unannounced and receive a free prostate exam, courtesy of a policeman's nightstick (truncheon). And sure enough, they caught him at the airport days later.

    In closing, well done to the t-shirt vendor, whose vigilance in spotting the smoking vehicle, saved many lives, by the grace of God. You deserve the keys to the city and a cash reward.

Volcanic Ash Continues To Delay Travelers

    Video: Iceland volcano eruption continues, more test flights through ash planned

    The volcanic ash that has blanketed parts of Britain and Europe since last week, continues to leave travelers stranded, as flights in the region have been canceled. The volcano in Iceland reportedly erupted again today. The ash is detrimental to the inner workings of airplanes, causing them to drop out of the sky.

Qatar Diplomat In U.S. Terrorism Scare Released

    Video: Police Release Smoker in Plane Scare

    Mohammed Al-Madadi, the Qatar diplomat that caused a scare on a U.S. plane in Colorado yesterday, has been released, after being detained for allegedly attempting to ignite a shoe bomb.

    It is now being claimed it was a misunderstanding, due to the diplomat having gone to the bathroom to illegally smoke a cigarette. When confronted about the smoke emanating from the airplane toilet, believing he had been racially profiled, he reportedly joked he was attempting to set off a shoe bomb.

    If this version of events are true, under the circumstances, such a joke is not funny. In light of the airplane tragedies that have happened as a result of terrorism, with one occurring just 3 and 1/2 months ago, such a joke is insensitive.

    Mohammed Al-Madadi should face disciplinary action in his home country for smoking on a plane and making such a joke, which resulted in a national emergency, money expended on law enforcement and military response and more importantly, distress to fellow passengers. Why was he smoking in the bathroom when it is prohibited.

    Officials: Jet restroom smoker caused bomb scare

    50 minutes ago - DENVER — A Middle Eastern diplomat who set off a national terrorism scare when he grabbed a surreptitious smoke in a jetliner's bathroom and then joked about lighting his shoe on fire has been released from custody and will likely not face criminal charges.

    The scare prompted the military to scramble fighter jets to escort the Boeing 757 to the Denver airport Wednesday night. But no explosives were found on the flight.

    Authorities speaking on condition of anonymity said they don't think the envoy was trying to hurt anyone and he will not be criminally charged...
