Oh don't mind the street roaming vans with full body scanners on them. It's for your protection. You can never know who could be carrying a nuclear warhead in their pants
This kind of thing fills me with the desire to inflict vigilante style justice upon this decay institution.

Video selling them.
Wait. The backscatter machines at airports couldn't pierce skin, and so were deemed 'safe'. These x-rays pierce car doors. Are these safe?
There isn't any word of it at all.
From Defense Industry Daily, a source that is probably sympathetic to AS&E, the manufacturer:
QuoteQuestions have also been raised re: the health risks to those scanned, which may well be ignored in situations of war or insurrection, but become a live issue when proposed as an requirement for popular activities like airline travel.
Which is as good as acknowledging that people should worry.

Note: That select quote was the first and final word of any kind of health concern. No confirmation or denial as to whether it might actually be safe.
This is dildoes!
It's alright we do not have thought police yet.
Also...did anyone else notice how many bottles were in the example scan of that van?
I can't wait until this is an available filter on Google Maps.
