Two very dubious terror attacks, both seriously discredited, have provided the impetus for 70 American airports to install scanners, unproven, untested, humiliating and certainly cancer causing.   Air travel has now become, not just a health hazard but legally requires all Americans to submit themselves and their families to criminal sexual abuse, acts of sexual touching by government employees.

Americans have now given up, not only their privacy but have to watch their wives and children groped.  Is being save from “pretend terrorism” worth it?  Anyone who doesn’t see the hand of former Homeland Security director Michael Chertoff, security “profiteer” in this cheap con isn’t trying hard enough.

The two attacks trace down to Yemen and an Al Qaeda cell that the government there has openly accused the State of Israel as funding and managing.  The most recent attack is now believed to never have happened at all.

The infamous “printer bandit” bombings, first aimed at Chicago synagogues, then for “mid air” explosions have been debunked.  The government of Dubai says the flights didn’t exist.  The government of Britain said there were no explosives and the French suspected they may be nuclear weapons.

WOULDN'T A METAL DETECTOR HAVE WORKED AS WELL

Every day, Americans are confronted with video of children being subjected to intrusive searches of their genital areas, we see the panic and screaming.  Airline pilots, some security heads of airlines and pilot associations report the scanners are, not only ineffective but potentially dangerous sources of radiation.

The scanners themselves exist only to provide fully detailed nude videos of all passengers, highly detailed depictions of genital/pubic areas, breasts on women.  From a legal standpoint, no TSA employee is authorized to view child pornography, a federal standard that the scanner images clearly qualify as.  Federal law prevents even prosecution and defense attorneys in pornography cases from viewing identical images in a closed courtroom.  Law enforcement officers subjected to the same images require special screening and are subjected to extensive oversight.  This is considered the most distasteful and reprehensible assignment for any police agency and yet, hundreds of thousands of TSA (Transportation Safety Administration) employees are given these tasks.

The best of them will be traumatized.  It is one thing for a gynecologist or urologist to stare at genitalia hours each day, quite something else for an airport screener.  In 2006, the spokesman for DHS was, himself, arrested for child sex crimes:

WASHINGTON —  The Homeland Security Department spokesman, Brian Doyle,  was held Wednesday on felony charges of sexually preying on a detective posing as a 14-year-old girl through explicit online conversations. He was quickly suspended without pay from one of the nation’s top crime-fighting agencies.

The arrest of Brian J. Doyle, 55, raised doubts about the ability of an agency responsible for safeguarding the country to ensure the security credentials of its own people.  Doyle is accused of 23 felony charges related to sexually graphic conversations with what he thought was a teenage girl, who was in fact an undercover Florida detective. The charges, lodged Tuesday night by the Polk County, Fla., Sheriff’s Department, included 16 counts of sending pornographic movie clips to a minor.

Authorities said Doyle also sent non-sexual photos of himself. They included one of him in Homeland Security headquarters, wearing an agency pin on his lapel and a lanyard that says “TSA,” which stands for the Transportation Security Administration…..Homeland Security also oversees an Operation Predator unit, which investigates child predators and pornographers.

THE “CROTCH BOMBER” FIASCO

Nearly a year ago, a Nigerian “refugee,” really the son of a powerful government official with direct ties to both the CIA and Mossad, carried an explosive device onto a plane in Amsterdam, a device he attempted to explode in Detroit.

This incident is the primary rationale for the billions of dollars being spent on scanners.  Initially, this incident wasn’t considered enough.  Then the “printer bandit” incident, which now appears to only be a series of false newspaper reports, was staged.  Both acts are tied to Yemen, a country whose terrorism problems were, even initially, tied to Israel and are now reported by the New York Times as being staged by the government to bilk the United States out of funding to be used for local political infighting between tribes.

There is, in fact, no substantive evidence of the existence of “Al Qaeda” in Yemen, a group that the BBC, has shown was a creation of the CIA and, in fact, has never existed.  Video of the Al Qaeda stronghold in Afghanistan where the CIA claimed it stormed the thousand man, 10 level, underground bunkers system, proves conclusively that the entire Al Qaeda-bin Laden myth was created to support government excesses much as the more recent supposed terror attacks now have the American government “terrorizing” travelers.

“CROTCH BOMBER” INCIDENT CAUSED BY FOREIGN OWNERSHIP OF AIRPORT SECURITY

When the “Crotch Bomber” flew into Schipol Airport in Amsterdam, he was greeted by airport security and walked around customs.  Though he had a passport back in Nigeria with an American visa, he wasn’t carrying any passport at all.  He should never have been allowed on the plane from Abuja in the first place.

Worse still, employees of the Israeli owned security company that manages this airport along with Detroit and other airports, including all those that the reputed 9/11 hijackers were said to have used, are directly tied directly to Israeli intelligence.

Schipol Airport is one of the most modern and heavily secured in the world.  It is equipped with HD video cameras and layers of biometric security capable of, not only facial recognition but particle detection, even at long range.  The day the “crotch bomber” came to Schipol, airport security devices were turned off, all video was disabled and, worse still, airport security personnel were witnessed walking a terrorist with a bomb onto an aircraft, seen by two Detroit area attorneys who discussed this incident on, not only the news but the talk show circuit as well.

This utterly bogus “false flag” terrorism incident, an obvious fundraiser for the scanner manufacturers represented by former DHS head, Michael Chertoff, is now being treated as though it actually happened.  Have we lost our minds?

A YEAR LATER, WHAT WE HAVE NOT SEEN

Since America is in a panic over one proven imaginary attack, one simply invented by the news media itself, lets look at a couple of the things wrong with the Detroit “attack.”

• The missing video from Schipol Airport, 40 cameras worth, has never been openly reported or discussed.  As it is believed to show security personnel openly assisting a terrorist, as was reported by reliable eyewitnesses, this is particularly disturbing.  Even more disturbing is the fact that the actual act of boarding the bomb toting terrorist has never been accounted for.  One moment, security personnel are telling the airline “we do it all the time” and the next moment, terrorist and bomb are on the plane.  What happened?
• During the flight, a “passenger” was seen filming the terrorist over a long period of time.  This “passenger” was arrested in Detroit and taken, in handcuffs, past the sequestered passengers.  This person was never arraigned in federal court, in fact there is no record of his arrest or even subsequent release.  He is never named.  The video of this individual being moved through the airport by the FBI and local police has also been destroyed.  Who was this person?

IONIZING RADIATION CAUSES CANCER, AIRPORT SCANNERS ARE MEDICALLY INSANE

Hospital x-ray rooms are always in basements, rooms are lined with lead and employees are shielded as are patients to the degree possible.  When Alexandr Solzhenitsyn wrote his famous work, Cancer Ward, describing hospital employees in a radiology unity dying from the harmful effects of x-rays, the world knew little of the danger.  Shoe stores used powerful ionizing radiation on customers feet as a matter of routine and dental x-rays were, at that time, more powerful than those we now use to check the welds on the hulls of nuclear submarines.  X-rays killed thousands, we will never know how many.

Since that period, technology has improved and levels of radiation have been lowered substantially to what is now considered “relatively safe” levels.  However, there are no known proven safe levels of ionizing radiation, the kind used in conventional x-rays and the scanner units deployed in 70 airports across the United States.  There has also been no safety study regarding the failure to adequately shield multiple radiation sources in an open area nor the effect on TSA employees or those likely to be frequently exposed such as airline personnel.

The initial risks are two fold:

1. Women who are pregnant, particularly those who are in the first trimester and may be unaware they are carrying a fetus that is extremely vulnerable to damage from any level of ionizing radiation
2. Skin cancer has been deemed as a real risk

Paul Joseph Watson writes:

Airport body scanners could lead to an increase in skin cancers according to scientists at Columbia University, who warn that the dose emitted by the naked x-ray devices could be up to 20 times higher than originally estimated, in another clear example of how the scanners are completely illegal, dangerous to public health, and need to be removed immediately.

Dr David Brenner, head of Columbia University’s centre for radiological research, warns that children and people with gene mutations whose bodies are less able to repair damage to their DNA are most at risk.

“If all 800 million people who use airports every year were screened with X-rays then the very small individual risk multiplied by the large number of screened people might imply a potential public health or societal risk. The population risk has the potential to be significant,” said Brenner.

Brenner’s research shows that the scanners will likely contribute to an increase in a common type of skin cancer called basal cell carcinoma which affects the head and neck.

“If there are increases in cancers as a result of irradiation of children, they would most likely appear some decades in the future. It would be prudent not to scan the head and neck,” added Brenner.

LIES ABOUT SCANNER SPECIFICATION

Several years ago, it was announced that “Al Qadea” was surgically implanting bombs into humans.  The Sun, owned by Rupert Murdoch’s NewsCorp, parent company of Fox News has reported:

“female suicide bombers are being fitted with exploding breast implants which are almost impossible to detect, British spies have reportedly discovered.  It is believed the doctors have been trained at some of Britain’s leading teaching hospitals before returning to their own countries to perform the surgical procedures.MI5 has also discovered that extremists are inserting the explosives into the buttocks of some male suicide bombers. ”

Though these reports have been proven outrageously false, total fabrications, as with the Yemen “printer cartridge” bombs, it is believed that current scanner technology using dangerous ionizing radiation, though at moderately low levels, will be scaled up to respond to this imaginary threat.  Levels of radiation then used will represent, particularly in an open terminal setting, a clear and present physical danger to the public, not to mention TSA employees.

PURE SCAM

If one were to be honest about the dangers of terrorism, particularly in relation to airport security, these would be my recommendations:

• Immediately eliminate all foreign ownership and control of companies that control airport security or manufacture, install and service airport security devices
• Accept that the involvement of security agencies known to be directly involved in terror attacks themselves in profiting from the sale of security devices has, not only brought about an exaggeration of terrorist threats but has actually caused the threats themselves
• Accept that America’s overreaction to questionable incidents of terrorism has made America a target, not of real terrorists, but of the use of terrorism to push America into surrogate conflicts, such as support of Israeli policies in Gaza or the Tribal conflicts in Yemen.

The billions being spent to endanger and inconvenience air travelers could be better applied toward port security, an area of vulnerability far beyond our air passengers.  With billions of dollars of narcotics coming into the United States each month and thousands of undocumented aliens entering the country each week, searching airline passengers to what can only be called obsession, is poorly considered.  It is time America reprioritizes its national security.

ADDENDUM:

APA president Captain Bates’ letter in full:

Fellow Pilots,

In response to increased threats to civil aviation around the world, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has implemented the use of Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) body scanners at some airport locations.

While I’m sure that each of us recognizes that the threats to our lives are real, the practice of airport security screening of airline pilots has spun out of control and does nothing to improve national security. It’s long past time that policymakers take the steps necessary to exempt commercial pilots from airport security screening and grant designated pilot access to SIDA utilizing either Crew Pass or biometric identification. As I recently wrote to the TSA Administrator:

“Our pilots are highly motivated partners in the effort to protect our nation’s security, with many of us serving as Federal Flight Deck Officers. We are all keenly aware that we may serve as the last line of defense against another terrorist attack on commercial aviation. Rather than being viewed as potential threats, we should be treated commensurate with the authority and responsibility that we are vested with as professional pilots.”

It is important to note that there are “backscatter” AIT devices now being deployed that produce ionizing radiation, which could be harmful to your health. Airline pilots in the United States already receive higher doses of radiation in their on-the-job environment than nearly every other category of worker in the United States, including nuclear power plant employees. As I also stated in my recent letter to the Administrator of the TSA:

“We are exposed to radiation every day on the job. For example, a typical Atlantic crossing during a solar flare can expose a pilot to radiation equivalent to 100 chest X-rays per hour. Requiring pilots to go through the AIT means additional radiation exposure. I share our pilots’ concerns about this additional radiation exposure and plan to recommend that our pilots refrain from going through the AIT. We already experience significantly higher radiation exposure than most other occupations, and there is mounting evidence of higher-than-average cancer rates as a consequence.”

It’s safe to say that most of the APA leadership shares my view that no pilot at American Airlines should subject themselves to the needless privacy invasion and potential health risks caused by the AIT body scanners. I therefore recommend that the pilots of American Airlines consider the following guidelines:

Use designated crew lines if available.

Politely decline AIT exposure and request alternative screening.

There is absolutely no denying that the enhanced pat-down is a demeaning experience. In my view, it is unacceptable to submit to one in public while wearing the uniform of a professional airline pilot. I recommend that all pilots insist that such screening is performed in an out-of-view area to protect their privacy and dignity.

If screening delays your arrival at the cockpit, do not cut corners that jeopardize the safety of the flight. Consummate professionalism and safety are always paramount.

Maintain composure and professionalism at all times and recognize that you are probably being videotaped.

If you feel that you have been treated with less than courtesy, respect and professionalism, please submit an observer report to APA. Please be sure to include the time, date, security checkpoint and name of the TSA employee who performed the screening. Avoid confrontation.

Your APA Board of Directors and National Officers are holding a conference call this week to discuss these issues and further guidance may be forthcoming.

While I cannot promise results tomorrow, I pledge to dedicate APA resources in the days and weeks to come to achieve direct access to SIDA for the pilots of American Airlines. In the meantime, I am confident that you will continue to exhibit your usual utmost professionalism as you safely operate and protect our nation’s air transport system.
