The government has lied about the radiation dangers posed by the TSA's “back scatter” x-ray machines. Yet they will continue to try to force people through these scanners, or undergo an "enhanced" pat-down that borders on being publicly groped by a government goon. And if this outrage is not opposed, it won't be long before these scanners show up at other sites where people gather, such as train/bus stations, stadiums, concert venues, shopping malls, and schools. And Michael Chertoff, former head of Homeland Security, now a lobbyist for the company that manufactures the machines, will reap the profits for himself and his cronies.

Scientist: X-ray scanners deliver “20 times the average dose that is typically quoted by TSA.”
