Leading docs say NO to full- body scanners

By WC Douglass M.D

It's not often I'm on the same page as the American Cancer Society -- but their chief medical officer is taking a page out of my book, and I couldn't be happier about it.

Dr. Otis Brawley told CNN he refuses the TSA's radioactive full-body airport scanners because he has "little confidence" in how the machines are calibrated, maintained, and inspected.

And his deputy agrees -- saying he'll do whatever he can to skip the scans.

These are two of the leading mainstream voices on cancer issues -- and they've been wrong more times than I can count, especially on issues like mammograms and cancer treatments.

Heck, they push radiation on cancer patients every single day... but when their own lives are on the line, they change their tune -- and fast.

"This is a total body scan -- not a dental or chest X-ray," Brawley's deputy, Dr. Len Lichtenfeld, told CNN. "Total body radiation is not something I find very comforting based on my medical knowledge."

And you know what? He's absolutely right -- because every time you get zapped, your total lifetime exposure levels shoot right up... along with your overall cancer risk.

Eventually, something that's supposed to be a remote and theoretical risk becomes a very real battle for your life... all because the feds decided they needed a picture of your scrotum.

Of course, the only alternative to the full-body scanner is the "freedom fondle" -- a top-to-bottom groping by a TSA worker that'll leave you feeling like a hooker in a gas station bathroom.

And they're not just rubbing their gloved fingers over your privates -- they're even fondling children, as this video on YouTube shows.

Want to know what's really shocking about this footage? This girl's parents didn't refuse the scan. They actually sent her through -- but the feds called the six-year-old girl over for an "extra" screening anyway, giving her the worst of both worlds: radiation AND a fondling.

And as you can see, they didn't miss an inch of this little potential terrorist's body.

It's just plain sick.
