[ RadSafe ] Airport Body Scanners

[Doug Aitken]

Don't know if the list allows attachments, but to lighten up the thread (and
maybe close it!), here is a picture from the Beach in Guarapari, famous for
its radioactive sands. No! it is not Franz! Although he did tell us he
enjoyed Brazil (as I did for many years!).

The locals (and many visitors) claim that regular exposure to the sands aids
their rheumatoid arthritis.....

Enjoy!

I was hoping to not have a heavy hand as moderator but I have to draw  
a line somewhere:

Anyone posting nude pictures of Franz is going to get banned ; )

Seriously, the line between science and politics has been  
significantly blurred in the U. S. since the end of the Manhattan  
Project. One can certainly argue whether or not this has been a good  
thing. While it has expanded the size of the pot of funding available  
for science, it has made many scientists beholden to the politicos. I  
am not sure that this has been a good trade.

Radiation Protection is one field that strictly due to the regulation  
is highly politicized. Please just keep the discussions civil.

Thanks,

Jeff
