Terahertz Waves check for bombs at airports, it also Tears Apart DNA
I find it funny how the news story of someone trying to blow up an airplane is getting people to call for widespread use of the terahertz scanners in airports,
and the news tells us that the privacy concerns are not that big of a deal,
everyone is being lead in the wrong direction of why they were not being used more than they already are,
they are unsafe for anything with DNA, and the news stories of this are being ignored.

there is a big movement to put these things everywhere and just ignore what they do to your DNA.
my advice is to never go through one of the scanners like that, and hopefully the world comes to it's senses soon.
