Rapiscan's Backscatter Machines May End Up In US Federal Buildings

 

Won't happen.  Federal employees are unionized; these unions are actually concerned about worker safety.

Rapiscan's Backscatter Machines May End Up In US Federal Buildings

McGruber writes "The Federal Times, a weekly print newspaper published by Gamnett Government Media Corp, is reporting that the Rapiscan Systems 'backscatter' passenger screening machines used by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration will likely be redeployed to federal buildings. Rapiscan System's backscatter machines have exposed passengers to radiation since they were first installed. As previously reported on Slashdot, TSA decided last month to stop using the machines because the manufacturer was unable to make changes to the machines that were mandated by Congress. Now TSA is attempting to sucker another federal agency into taking the nude-o-scopes."
