In just her second year as the head coach for the women's varsity volleyball team at Hargrave High School, Keanne Burt, a 2010 School of Education graduate, has reached a milestone in her career - winning the 2012-2013 high school volleyball All-Area Coach of the Year award.
Though just two years into coaching the varsity volleyball team, Burt is no stranger to coaching, she has been coaching club volleyball for 10 years.
Her focus on building her athletes both on and off the court has led to many accolades on the court, six of her athletes were named to all-area teams this season, and academically, the team has a collective GPA of 3.5.
"I work at investing in their future," Burt said, "I know that not all my students want to play volleyball in college, they just want to go the student route. There are a few who want to keep playing, so being a former college athlete, I can tell them what they are getting into."
As a coach, Burt stresses the importance of team involvement. She welcomes feedback form players to help adjust the balance of the team and facilitate team unity by holding a team dinner on Mondays, hosted by the parents of the varsity players, where the athletes can interact and study outside of a school setting. "It is really nice to have the support where you don't feel the pressure of 'You didn't have a winning season so you are fired,'" Burt said. "Here, they want you to grow. Seeing how invested in the students the principal is makes you want to work harder."
Once Burt realized her passion for volleyball and knew she would like to continue her involvement as a coach, she set out to become an educator. At St. Thomas she studied in education while earning a minor in history and playing as the libero for the Lady Celts volleyball team. Through the influence of coaches and Todd Smith, UST's athletic director, Burt has absorbed nuggets of wisdom and advice that has been able to apply herself.
"Being exposed to a higher level of volleyball helps you communicate better with your athletes," Burt said. "I know how I want to be treated as a player, so it helps me see the reverse and better understand my role as a coach."
Moving forward, Burt wants to continue to build the future of the program. Outside of encouraging the younger players to train year round, Burt will bring eighth graders from the local middle school to practice with the high school during the offseason so they can get used to the pace of the game at the high school level.
With a winning record and reputation to defend, Burt plans to start the next season off strong.
"When you have a winning record everybody wants to beat you, whether they should beat you or not, they want to take a shot at you and knock you off your game," Burt said. "Knowing that, there is no time to relax or slack off. Even in the first round of district play, we are going to go hard because we want to go to the state tournament."

I read the artical about people who love cats or dogs. The auther says that these two type of people has different personal qualities. Cats people are more introversion and calm, they love to stay at home, read, cook, do puzzles. Dods people are extraversion, they have a lot of friends, they are ougoing and love to go to the parties. I think it's true only as a theory, because many people have a cat and a dog, and I saw some peole with dogs who were very shy and quiet.

Yes , I agree with you. We can´t generalize.
Personally, I love cats! I have two females, one tricollor and one black with a white point!
According to the description, I could add that cat people like to sleep, are intuitive and observant and don´t like to be underestimated as well as cats.
Each cat has its personality which we can notice even when it is a puppy. We can see if it is active or lazy, if is friendly with your interaction or don´t mind with your presence, etc.
Above all things, I believe that cats teach you to respect any kind of alive. They don´t let you treat them as something below your power and wishes. If you do that, it will show your misunderstood in the following putting down objects and other things that import to you.

It is funny, but my cat trains me and my husband. He teaches us to be cheerful, spend a lot of time at home with him, play all his favourite games and have new habits which are useful for him. We thought we would educate him, but really he educates us :)
We bought a fire screen, but we don't have a fireplace in our flat. Why do we need this thing? It's funny, but we use the fire screen as a board between the room and the balcony. Our cat likes to run into the balcony. He also likes to jump and to hunt birds and insects. We afraid that he could jump down from the balcony, but it's dangerous, because we live on the fourth floor. So we have the new fire screen and could to have our balcony opened without nervousness about the cat.
Tasha Tudor was a very unusual woman. She lived in America in 20 th -beginning of 21th century, but she lived as she was in Victorian era.
Tasha weared long srirts, Victorian blouses. She prepared her own soap, baked bread, made cheese and butter and did all things for daily life. She had four children and reard them alone, because this life was difficult for her husband and they divorced. She needed the money, so she wrote the tail stores, painted the pictures and published the books of recipies of Victorian dishes. As a result, her children inherited two million dollars.
Tasha Tudor had a long happy life. I think it's a fabulous example of slow life style, which is so attractive in current life.
I like summer, it's a very pleasant season. I remember the words from the one song "Summer is a small life" and I agree with these words. The days are so long, we have a lot of time for the job and for the rest. The nights are warm and romantic, they are full of sweet smells, quiet sounds and special mood - lover and tender. It's pitty, that the summer in Russia runs too fast. But we can wait for the next summer.
I think the compliments are different in various cultures. For example, American may say to coworker "It's a fabulous suit. Was it expensive?", but Russian never ask this question. It's a taboo topic to ask about the cost of clothes in Russia. It's impolitely and improperly. You can ask about the cost of the car, the house or the redecorating a flat, but not about the clothes. It possible for close friends only.
My cat is an amazing pet! He is so cute, playful and funny. He loves hunting and he does it all day long. He also likes sightseeing in our flat, so we can find him in boxes, shelves, cupboards. He is very attractive, he has a short but soft fur and big round orange eyes. His ears are small and twisted. I think he is the most beautiful cat in the world :)

Dear Alena,
thank you for sharing your caring coexistence with your cat. I published a short Story about our cat. I hope you enjoy it! Klaus
The Crow
by Klaus Gehling
It`s claimed that a crow precedes a disaster. But, I´m not superstitious. Last month I saw a crow in a tree next to my house. I thought "humbug" and went in.
Everything seemed as always: The teacup on the desk, the TV, the piano. But something was wrong. Oh, my gosh! Parts of bodies were laying on the carpet! A stomach, legs, an intestine. Teeth looked at me lamentably.
Suddenly Charlie, our tomcat was creeping closer. I shouted: "You're supposed to eat your mice outside! And eat the rest of your food as humans are supposed to!"
I like designer clothes. I prefer official suits by Paul Smith. It seems as he sews his things special for me. They suits and fits me. I love nice lining of his clothes, it has unusual gorgeous colours. For my casual days I buy clothes by young designers. They make crazy things with different strange elements and it's lovely.
I had a vacation in a gorgeous place last summer. This place called Castle Combe and it avowed as the most beautiful village of England. I agree with this estimation. This is a very small village which was built in 15 century, quiet and relaxing. I'd like to live in such place in my old life.
Baggy jeans is a mystery for me. I've never seen a person who looks great in that jeans' model. All people look untidy and silly in them, but all fashion magazines write about "boyfriend's jeans" as a very trendy and smart clothes. I think it's a criminal conspiracy of the designers.
I think procrastination is a very harmful habit. You can't do anything, because you think you could do it whenever later. But you wait, wait and wait. The big piece of your life is finished, but you did nothing. At the end of your life you could be poor, sick and alone because you didn't have wish enough to change this situation.
Visa and Master Card left the Russia. I think about the consequences of this decision for my usual life. I won't to pay with card in the Internet, in the shops. I will have the big problems with my journey abroad. It's not a good decision and I'm very upset about it.
Today is the first really hot day in this year. The temperature is about 30 degrees Celsius, the sun shines, the sky is blue without any clouds. There are a lot of dandelions between the grass on the grass-plots. The smell of lilac is around you in the downtown. That is the first summer day in the end of the spring.
Meryl Streep is a great actress! She can to be different in playing of variouse characters, but she is gorgeous in all of them. It seems me a genious. She is never try to be good-looking, but she is always perfect. She may be clown, queen, girl-next-door, whomever you likes, but she will be beautiful, intelligence and she will be herself.
I don't like news because I have two reasons for this position.
At first, the news are mean the changes, but I don't like the changes. I live in the country with day-to-day changes. Enviroment, laws, prices, TV channels, values - all change constantly. It's very tiresome.
Second, the most news are bad news. I agree with Russian novelist Bulgakov's words "Never read newspapers before the breakfast". I think it relevants to all news in today life.
I think that the most important news for our coworkers are news about their bosses and colleagues, not about projects and tasks. People love to have a good gossip, especially to discuss an unconfirmed rumour. Each company has the rumor spreaders, who spend a lot of time for talking in smoking-room. They could make the problems for the company, but could be the helpers for CEO and HR department. And you should to use this strong and unusual instrument for constructing the corporate culture.
Do you believe weather forecasters?
Some years ago I read the Jerome Klapka Jerome's novel about the weather forecast. He wrote how they waste the beautiful day, because they believed the weather forecast which predicted a storm with strong wind and heavy rain. As a result they stayed at home and saw at windows a sunny day without any clouds.
Now, 100 years later, we have the similar situation with the forecasts. They are good in explaining, but they are still bad in predictions.

It's interesting to read fairy stories from different countries. I think that this stories influence kids and, as a result, mould general impression about national characters. In Russia, our favourite hero is a lazy stupid man who does nothing. He finds himself in various difficult situations and solves the problems with his patient and kindness. But, i'm afraid, I couldn't see this sort of people around me. May be, the kids now read another books in Russia?
My favourite music group is Procol Harum. This British rock band plays progressive rock and symphonic rock. The vocalist, Gary Brooker, has a very specific quality of a voice. They called it "sandy vocal". I think "Conquistador" is the best sing ever.
We talked about professional skills and experience at today lesson. Some students say that good worker must be friendly, patient, hardworking person. I agree whith them, it's a peasure to work with such person, but I think most important is to be able to reach your goals and to have a good partnership with your colleagues. I've seen many unimpatient, lazy people who were the great workers and earned a lot of money for their companies. So I offer to separate comfortable workers and effective workers.
I like to watch TV program "House Hunters International". It's a very interesting program about people who look for a new flat in a new country. I surprise that people decide to rent or to buy the flat witch has the most of disadvantages. The heroes admire of others flats and in the end choose the worst variant. I can't understand it!

TSA Cancer Cluster Myth Buster

Liar liar pants on fire! Well at least I won't get cancer from your cancer machines. I stopped flying in October of 2010. When you people come to your senses, I'll start spending my money on transportation again. I'm going to affect change with my wallet. The American Way.

NIST says TSA claims that they tested your machines is not true.
Please respond to this continuing lie.
- June 30, 2011 at 4:56 PM
- Anonymous said...
Another document indicates that the DHS mischaracterized the findings of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, stating that NIST "affirmed the safety" of full body scanners. The documents obtained by EPIC reveal that NIST disputed that characterization and stated that the Institute did not, in fact, test the devices. Also, a Johns Hopkins University study revealed that radiation zones around body scanners could exceed the "General Public Dose Limit."

Does the TSA understand that when they publish information that is so easily proven incorrect, they make it harder for the public to trust them?

I used to give the TSA the benefit of the doubt, but after reading the stuff on EPIC, I now realize the TSA cannot be trusted to be truthful.

In a traditional (normal) medical setting, these types of machines are only operated by certified techs. Are TSA agents medically certified by the state they work in?
Additionally, a state inspector comes every month to certify that the machines are calibrated correctly. On doing so, the inspection statement is hung in a visible area near the machine (visible to the public) with the date of inspecton and the inspectors name. I have never seen such a statement on or near the airport machines.
Furthermore, in a medical setting, the body part not being scanned is covered by lead to protect sensative tissue areas. NEVER is the entire body scanned.
*I find it very interesting that you are posting about this rather than the Nigerian who passed through TSA security multiple times only to be caught by a flight attendant.

If it is so safe, why won't you allow your TSOs to wear dosimeters?

Seems John's Hopkins isn't too happy with the TSA
A spokeswoman for Johns Hopkins said the people who did the testing were unhappy with the way the TSA characterized the study. The safety of the machines is a somewhat different question, she said.
- June 30, 2011 at 5:35 PM
- Anonymous said...
Regarding #1) Saying 'we dont need dosimiters because the machines are safe' is analagous to my saying 'we dont need the TSA scanners because flying is safe'. *if* you are to be believed n the safety margins of your machines, then the probability of getting cancer from them is effectively equivalent to someone dying from a terrorist attack on a plane. So, using your own logic, we don't need the AIT machines in the first place!
Regarding #2) No third party not affiliated with the manufacturer has tested a field deployed device. JHU and NIST have both publicly discounted the tests you keep referencing to them. Nice try though.
- June 30, 2011 at 5:56 PM
- Anonymous said...
No independent tests of your machines were conducted. All that these organizations stated is that the radiation doses you say they generate are medically "safe", but even that is relative, since in airports these machines bring no health benefit whatsoever, and the sheer number of people scanned means they will cause cancer in a number of persons. Certainly many more than terrorists caught by the TSA (zero).

Please respond to this continuing lie.
So, what your saying is that you would rather believe what may or may not be an email from one person to another, both of who's names have been redacted, with no identifying information of any kind as to the source of the email (i.e. IP address, domain name, etc.) and which has been posted to the EPIC website, an organization with a vested interest in the outcome of any litigation?
NIST says on its own web site: "Over the years, the scientists and technical staff at NIST have made solid contributions to image processing, DNA diagnostic "chips," smoke detectors, and automated error-correcting software for machine tools. Just a few of the other areas in which NIST has had major impact include atomic clocks, X-ray standards for mammography, scanning tunneling microscopy, pollution-control technology, and high-speed dental drills."
Sounds to me RB like they are in a good position to make an assessment of the safety of the AIT devices which TSA uses, which is of course exactly what was asked of them and what they did. Yes, there is a lie in progress, the question is why are you and others supporting that lie?

Two points here. One, documents don't lie. If they pose no risk, why do they suggest having side shields installed? If the dose is SO low, why bother? Two...another example of the WORTHLESS nature of the TSA - Olajide Oluwaseun Noibi, a Nigerian man can breeze through security while grannies and 4 year olds are fondled in the name of security. You all are a JOKE and we all know it...and see it!

"Q: Why aren't your officers permitted to wear dosimeters?
A: ...The emissions from our X-ray technology are well below the requirements that would require...usage"
Well, if you've got nothing to hide, then why not permit it? It would reassure both your workers and the flying public. Furthermore, Johns Hopkins University says that dosages around the machines *could* exceed limits (http://epic.org/privacy/airtravel/backscatter/). In other words, there is no way to tell if a backscatter imaging device is calibrated correctly or not when a TSO directs me towards one.
"Q: Why doesn't TSA allow third party testing for backscatter technology?
A: ...testing and analyses...have been conducted by...NIST..."
Really? Because *they* said otherwise ( also from http://epic.org/privacy/airtravel/backscatter/)
You can spin the TSA's illegal policies any way you want, but there is a growing number of Americans -- myself included -- who will *NOT* fly again until TSA backs off from it's invasive, degrading, immoral and illegal policies.

Ahhh Bob - Your not even trying anymore.
Army only performed surveys at three airports.
NIST specifically said they they did not tell you these were safe, and suggested your TSO's stay away from them and wear dosimeters.
FDA said they have never tested these machines.
Johns Hopkins also said they they did not test the machines. They were given specs from the manufacturer.
Truth is that no one other then the manufacturer has tested these units. Taking the manufacturers claim and giving that to a third party does not constitute a test. Would you allow your family to ride in a car that the manufacturer wont allow third party crash testing to be done?
Backscatter units have been at BOS since 2002. Long enough for a cancer cluster to form.
You really don't care at all about the health and welfare of your TSO's.

So, Bob, were there too many posts calling you out on the "remove it or don't fly today" "choice" offered the 95-year-old woman? Just had to slap another post up here right away, huh?
all of our X-ray technology ... has been tested and retested
Yeah, by idiots who can't divide by 10 to get an average result.
The emissions from our X-ray technology are well below the requirements that would require [dosimeter] routine usage.
That explains why you don't require them to wear them, but not why you specifically ban them from wearing them. Which was the original question.
A: We have [allowed third party testing of backscatter].
Were those LIVE machines in airports, or some test setup somewhere?
Oh, and please respond to this: http://epic.org/privacy/backscatter/radiation_NIST_USAToday.pdf - NIST says they didn't test your machines.

Hospitals and dentists offices dont even do this. They hide behind a lead wall and tell you to limit your exposure to x-rays. Xray technicians are required to wear dosimeters to protect their health and TSA is worried about public perception of wearing a small dosimeter tag the size of a quarter? Prohibiting employees from buying their own, with their own money and wearing them. They can be purchased for as little as $50 year and you mail them back to a lab quarterly.

Unless the scanners are blasting truly massive amounts of radiation, I can't imagine that they have been in place long enough to actually account for a cancer cluster (Yet?).
The story also comes from Alex Jones' infowars.com. That's actually all you need to point out to effectively refute the story.

"The emissions from our X-ray technology are well below the requirements that would require their routine usage."
Meaning it's not because they're safe, but just because you don't have to.
"To help reassure passengers and employees that the technology is safe, however, health physicists with the U.S. Army have been conducting area dosimeter surveys at multiple airports nationwide."
Are they measuring exposure at the point of peak exposure? This answer is like saying the danger from smoke inhalation with your head inside your fireplace is negligible because the smoke detector in your garage and bathroom aren't going off.

Some of us appreciate the post. However, it is rather lacking. Have any TSOs ever worn dosimeters? Are there any locations where data points on radiation are being collected daily?
Yes, there is no proven link between the cancer cluster and the WBI. Indeed, I would say the more likely culprit is one of the carry on x-rays, perhaps a faulty lead curtain or somesuch.
However, I would like to know what statistical test was used to show that there is no significant likelihood that the backscatter WBIs are not to blame.
Thank you.

Johns Hopkins has never said the scanners were "safe." John Hopkins publicly called out the TSA for its misleading statements regarding Johns Hopkins involvement with the testing of the scanners. John Hopkins will only say DHS and TSA only asked JH to test to see if the scanners met a specific ANSI standard.
TSA and DHS needs to stop misleading the public as to what the experts have said. The bottom line is that TSA and DHS has NEVER released a machine or machines to be tested independently nor has it ever provided evidence of a peer reviewed study about the efficacy and safety of these machines. Seriously. As in now.

On 5/26 Blogger Bob posted "The Radiation Retest Results ....".
In that post he provided some interesting facts which included:
* Annual recommended limit to the public of radiation from man-made sources: 100 millirem
* One backscatter X-ray scan: Approximately 0.005 millirem
My concern is for the Security Officers on the front lines. At a high volume checkpoint that I go through often, one shift of employees will process in excess of 6000 passengers per shift. If you apply some basic match and factor in emissions from other Radiation producing equipment in the vacinity (such as the x-ray for your belongings, those trace machines, etc.), a high volume checkpoint will generate in excess of 12,000 millirem from man made sources. This exceeds the annual recommended limit by man-made sources by 120x. So, is the TSA and it's independent evaluators concluding that a Security Officer is exposed to less than 1% of this man-made sources of millirem?

Third party testing is not the same as independent testing. How about some test data from more than one non-government organization?
Also, I'd love to see data from TSA employees wearing dosimeters anyway. If it's safe, you have nothing to hide. Open operating policies should be the core of every government organization/agency.

Myth: NIST tested the AIT machines for safety.
Fact: NIST does not do product testing. NIST did not test AIT machines for safety. NIST measured the dose of a single machine and compared it against the standard.
Fact: The Johns Hopkins University report recommended additional action "to ensure that the ... general public does recommendataion of less than 100 mrem per year is being met." They did this because the machines leak radiation near the top. Note that the TSA reports on test measurements indicate that they do not test the amount of radiation emitted near the top of the machine.
Myth: The TSA allows third party testing of the whole-body imagers.
Fact: TSA does not allow independent third party testing. They allow only the studies they commission. And they don't release all of the information unless compelled to via a FOIA request.
Myth: Because the machines meet the national standards, they are safe.
Fact: There are no studies on the effects of focused ionizing radiation on certain human tissues, such as the corneas of the eyes. Thus there is insufficient data upon which to base a safety standard for this type of usage.
Myth: The TSA will use every technological measure available to make us as safe as possible.
Fact: The TSA won't even protect their own employees with a simple wearable dosimeter even though they work adjacent to checkpoint and baggage x-ray machines as well as whole-body imagers that use ionizing radiation.

But we'll never know for sure. And the TSA won't even allow their employeess to wear dosimeters, which, ya know, might give us some actual data to base some of these conclusions on. Data might lead to liability, and we certainly couldn't have that.

Hardly a day goes by without some embarrassing revelation about the TSA. If it's not some dunderheaded TSO humiliating a disabled passenger, it might be baggage screeners who continue stealing for months under their bosses' watchful eye until someone finally finishes typing up letters of proposed removal. Or it might be a deranged Nigerian who somehow slips through all the "layers" with a fake ticket.
But no matter how much of a storm of outrage these revelations create, Blogger Bob and his merry men are steadfast in reiterating the Message: The TSA is an infallible and impenetrable bulwark against terrorists, staffed by highly trained, highly competent professionals who treat all passengers with respect and courtesy, and can do no wrong.
Whenever a TSO does something embarrassing, we can count on Bob to keep us informed about the TSA's thorough investigation that somehow always proves the TSO acted properly. And then he'll helpfully explain exactly what the passenger did wrong to cause the incident. Because the TSA is always right, the passenger must always be at fault.
And when a TSO does something (like getting caught stealing) that can't be defended, Bob will tell us that some kind of action was taken. But as all TSA employees have an absolute right to privacy, he can't tell us more than that. It's still worth a self-congratulatory post about "accountability."
When concerns about something refuse to go away, such as the safety of scanners that subject passengers to ionizing radiation, we can count on Bob to declare them "myths," which he then "busts" with some variation on You're wrong. Can't tell you why because it's SSI. You're just wrong. Trust us. And if that's too much work, Bob can always respond to concerns by ignoring or deflecting them.
Perhaps the Federal Government could save some money by replacing this blog with with a simple static page containing the TSA logo and a banner proclaiming THE TSA IS NEVER WRONG!

If these things are safe, let TSOs wear dosimeters like every other person in the world who works around x-rays.

@RB: Please read the letter again. It clearly states that NIST tested the performance of the AIT system against the performance standards and found that it met those standards. Those performance standards do not draw a conclusion about "safety", it ONLY says that machines must operate below 25 microrem per scan. The machines that have been tested by independent groups operate at 5 to 8 times below that threshold.
If you're OK flying at altitude for 2 minutes, the you have nothing to worry about with these machines. They're absolutely safe!

I have a genetically increased risk of deadly melanoma, necessitating semiannual skin examinations. I've also had non-melanoma skin cancer. My dermatologist has thus strongly advised me to refuse the scanners, even if it means having an angry TSO squeeze my testicles in retaliation. (Bob would of course insist that such a thing violates TSA procedures, and therefore has never happened, will never happen, and can never happen. Unfortunately, there too often seems to be a disconnect between the official policies Bob reiterates here and the "unpredictable" implementation at checkpoints. But I digress.)
My doctor explained that the absolute amount of radiation the scanners emit may be small and "safe." But the effect of specifically directing that radiation on the skin, as in the scanners, has never been studied. And to his knowledge, it has never even been explicitly measured. Since cumulative radiation exposure contributes to cancer, he concludes that the unknown exposure of my skin to radiation in the scanner would create an unacceptable risk.
Could someone please tell me why I should disregard my doctor's reasoned advice in favor of Blogger Bob's repeated assertion that "Our tests prove it's safe beyond any doubt. Trust us."?

I have a genetically-based high risk of deadly melanoma. I've also had non-melanoma skin cancer. The dermatologist I visit for my semiannual skin exams has strongly recommended that I refuse the scanners, even if it means a humiliating and painful retaliatory pat down.
According to my dermatologist, the total amount of radiation emitted by the scanners may be "safe," according to industrial exposure standards. But the scanners specifically direct that radiation onto the skin. The effects of this type of radiation exposure have never been specifically studied, so the risk is unknown.
However, published studies have proved that cumulative exposure to radiation contributes to skin cancer. Given my heightened susceptibility to skin cancer, whatever unknown risk the scanners create is unacceptable for me. Perhaps the risk may eventually become known, thanks to the millions of people who "consent" to becoming guinea pigs when they buy a plane ticket. But he strongly advises me against participating in the TSA's "experiment" in irradiating large numbers of human subjects.
Could someone please give me a good reason why I should disregard my dermatologist's reasoned advice, and instead believe Blogger Bob's claims that "Our own tests prove beyond any doubt that the scanners are safe for everyone. Trust us."?

I cannot believe that any competent, reputable scientist not employed by the DHS would accept the TSA's apparent assertion that there is zero risk to repeatedly irradiating millions of people.
If this were a rational country, the TSA would not deploy the scanners until independent experts have fully assessed both the effectiveness and the risks of the scanners, and conclusively determined that the benefits significantly outweigh whatever risks irradiating millions of passengers create.
Unfortunately, the TSA does not operate that way. The TSA's leaders met in secret and decided that the scanners shall be deployed. And having made that decision, nothing can stop it.
Of course, they would much prefer that we just Believe that the scanners provide an enormous security benefit with no risk. Then nobody would hesitate to enter the scanner and assume the "mugging" position when the TSO bellows the command. And screening would be as easy and efficient as possible for the TSOs.
But the TSA's Leaders surely know that there are many valid reasons why people cannot accept the scanners. Unfortunately, they've chosen to address this problem with a condescending propaganda campaign to deny, conceal, deflect, and ignore the many legitimate concerns.
The dosimeter ban may be part of the campaign. If TSOs wore dosimeters, they might raise visible concerns about the radiation risk. It's entirely possible that in their zeal to deploy scanners that have not been adequately tested for either effectiveness or safety, the TSA's Leaders are willing to risk the health and safety of their own employees, to conceal doubts about the safety of the scanners.
Since the TSA's Primary Operating Procedure is to avoid any accountability for anything, their Leaders know they can apply the same strategy of denial and deflection to their own employees should suspicions of a "cancer cluster" arise. And indeed, that's what they now seem to be doing.

"If you're OK flying at altitude for 2 minutes, the you have nothing to worry about with these machines."
Atmospheric radiation mostly passes all the way through your body without stopping. What little radiation is absorbed does so generally evenly throughout the body volume.
Airport scanners concentrate ALL emissions that intersect the body on the first few millimeters of dermal tissue.

But Johns Hopkins says that its study only demonstrates that the radiation dosage is under the limit set by ANSI. A spokeswoman for Johns Hopkins said the people who did the testing were unhappy with the way the TSA characterized the study. The safety of the machines is a somewhat different question, she said..."

TSA, What is your response to the following excerpts I found on a CNN News Health report????
"Dr. Otis Brawley, chief medical officer of the American Cancer Society, takes a pat-down instead of going through a scanner when he travels. He says he's concerned about whether the machines are calibrated and inspected properly.
"USA Today did a piece on how badly TSA maintained their X-ray equipment for carryon bags, and this gave me little confidence," he wrote to me in an e-mail.
Brawley's deputy concurs.
"I do whatever I can to avoid the scanner," Dr. Len Lichtenfeld wrote to me in an e-mail.
He says as a frequent flier, he's concerned about the cumulative effect of the radiation.
"This is a total body scan -- not a dental or chest X-ray," he wrote to me. "Total body radiation is not something I find very comforting based on my medical knowledge."
Or how about this finding :
"Another doctor who opts for the pat-down is Dr. Dong Kim, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' neurosurgeon.
"There is really no absolutely safe dose of radiation," says Kim, chair of the department of neurosurgery at the University of Texas Medical School. "Each exposure is additive, and there is no need to incur any extra radiation when there is an alternative."
This was echoed by several other physicians, including Dr. Andrew Weil.
"All radiation exposure adds to the cumulative total you've received over your lifetime," Weil wrote to me in an e-mail. "Cancer risks correlate with that number, so no dose of radiation is too small to matter."
Please address these posts.

TSA-- can you please explain these warnings?
"Reproductive Danger
Repeated radiation to the reproductive area of both men and women can cause long-term harm to themselves and future children. While some experts posit that an individual would have to go through a 3D body scanners 243 times every day before there is an actual health risk, frequent fliers, pilots and flight attendants all worry about the risk to their reproductive systems.These effects include infertility, causing, development or genetic problems for future children. In females the same is true, a heightened risk of infertility, genetic problems and also an increased risk for future miscarriages.
Pregnant Women
Pregnant women affected by radiation in the first trimester are at the most risk for potential harm. Exposure to radiation in early pregnancy can cause miscarriage, birth defects and growth retardation. It can also affect the fetus' neurological system, which may cause learning disabilities and motor function problems for the child later in life. Pregnant women beyond the 20th week of pregnancy are less at risk for any kind of radiation exposure problems, with no real risk for miscarriage or birth defects.
Danger to Children
Besides the obvious dangers of young children being exposed to radiation, there are other dangers to children using 3D body scanners. Many parents are worried about graphic images of their child's genital areas taken by the scanners. Parents, concerned about child pornography, are worried that these graphic pictures of their children will be kept and may get into the wrong hands. Major airlines and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has not revealed what happens to these scans after they are taken.
Skin Danger
Using x-ray type of radiation repeatedly at the airport may cause basal cell carcinoma, and other types of skin cancer. This type of cancer primarily occurs on the head and neck of those inflicted, and for this reason many doctors do not believe that individuals should have their head and neck scanned in an airport 3D scanner. The skin receives the most amount of radiation, as it has more surface area than any other human organ.

"In fact, there were no body scanners at BOS when the complaints were filed."
Scanners were deployed in early March of 2010, reports were filed in May 2010.

Is the rumor true that Walmart is using covert scanning technologies now?

Such a fabalus review on TSA's ability to tell the truth.

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."
So apparently NIST did not confirm the safety of the machines.

I really wish I didn't have such a hard time believing this. I *want* it to be true, but the TSA is hardly convincing.
If all of these things really were true, then how come there are so many warnings taken into account - pregnant women, women with young children, etc., etc.? Can you address that particular issue once and for all? I hate having to feel nervous flying with my baby.

Introducing our Kathy Ireland Collection
Our New England Garden bouquet is a romantic expression of love.
There is a Native American Indian legend that tells the story of how rose bushes first grew their thorns. The Rose Bush, according to the legend, never had thorns but because the stems were so smooth and fragrant, the leaves delicate and the bush was covered in beautiful pink petals, they were irresistible for rabbits and other animals to eat. The rose bushes were so enjoyed by these animals that there were very few left.
The remaining Rose Bushes, carried on the wind, went to find a man who could help them. After a long journey, they at last found this person but he was in rage. The Roses hid in fear but over heard why he was angry. He had planted a hedge of Roses because he had a deep love of their beauty and fragrance. He was angry that his cherished roses were eaten by rabbits. Once the Roses heard this, they decided to present their problems to the man. Upon hearing this, the man gave them small thorns to protect them and sent them back to their home.
