Full Body Scanners can Damage your DNA

While on New York Fox 5 News website, I came across this article:
TSA Scanners May Violate Rights, Risk Health

What caught my eye, is this section:

Not only has the use of full-body image scanners raised the ire of passengers and serious questions about their constitutionality, but they may also present a serious health risk.

The devices operate on a combination of X-ray technology and millimeter wave technology . Relatively new on the scene, millimeter wave technology has been proven capable of interfering with human DNA. The ultimate results of this exposure remain unknown. Though technically medical devices, the scanners have never been tested or approved by the FDA.

This new “millimeter wave” X-ray technology seems to raise some serious concerns. I, for one, am concerned for my family when it comes to these full body scanners. Some of the questions were raised on the Stranded Passengers blog site are of serious concern. Things like, would it cause birth defects? Cause infertility? Cause birth defects in future babies? Can it cause brain damage? The “millimeter wave” is believed to damage DNA, which cannot be “fixed” or “repaired”. It can permanently affect you and your offspring, as DNA is passed to your future children and grandchildren.
