TSA type scanner blamed for woman's death
The controversial U.S. scanners used in some American airports have been blamed for a woman’s death.
The TSA back scanners caused an uproar in the United States when they were first rolled out in selected air terminals across the U.S. during late 2010. Some travelers risked possible arrest rather than be forced to go through them; airline crews demanded an exemption from them and got it.
The next controversy erupted when images of scanned passengers were proven to be more revealing of the human body than the TSA had admitted. A female, whose nude body image was allegedly posted all over the Internet by a TSA employee threatened to sue the security agency.
Privacy rights activists called for boycotts of the nation’s largest airports. A media firestorm ensued.
All of that was immediately followed by serious questions from health professionals across the nation and atomic scientists at Los Alamos, New Mexico concerning the long term health risks the scanners terahertz waves generated. scientific studies emerged revealing the possibility that exposure to the radiation might damage DNA. Medical doctors warned of possible heightened cancer risks.
The latest incident comes from Egypt where a 57-year old Palestinian woman died over the weekend after passing through one of the scanners. The woman had an implanted pacemaker, a device that several American doctors warned should not be permitted near the terahertz waves.
Nevertheless, the security personnel at the Rafah Crossing between Gaza and Egypt instructed the woman, Fatima Mahmoud Abu Obeid, to pass through the scanner before crossing the border into Egypt with her husband. Just 30 minutes after passing through the machine Abu Obeid collapsed.
She was rushed by ambulance to a Rafah hospital in Egypt where physicians pronounced her dead.
