Jul 11th 2011 10:33AM On FlyerTalk there is talk of a Second Flyer approaching 10million miles in a few weeks or months. Wonder if he/she will be celebrated as well.
TSA workers are blaming body scanners for cancer; D.C. public interest group calls for independent reviews {Gadling}
Jul 2nd 2011 1:03PM Mathew, I have worked in radiation industries. Both in R&D Uranium Research and around radioactive sources. I was originally trained by the Safety Officer of a Uranium Research Facility that was a Radiation Safety Officer at the Manhattan Project.
In order for a "Cancer Cluster" to be developed, there would need to be massive exposure to radiation over a period of time. Since the Nudo-o-Scopes have not been around quite that long (I believe the longest is about 5 years now) the radiation leakage would have to be equivalent to a reactor spill in order for enough noticeable cancers to have grown to be detected.
If this is truly the case, the entire airport needs to be shut down, quarantined, and decontamination procedures begun.
It is entirely possible that the TSA "Agents" are not following proper protocol around the X-Ray machines in the Luggage Area or the machine that scans the carryons. Those are the places where noticeable radiation would be present.
So TSA agents saying there is a "Cancer Cluster" is probably not true.
Budget Maldives: How to find perfect beaches and unbelievable snorkeling on a relative shoestring {Gadling}
Jul 2nd 2011 12:02AM Wow, considering how little time has elapsed since the Nude-o-Scopes have been in place, there must be more radiation leakage than from a Nuke Plant. The entire screening area should be shut down and quarantined like a nuclear material spill if that much radiation is leaking. For a "cancer cluster" to have developed in only 3-5 years shows an immense amount of radiation leakage.
Grab a magazine, charge your phone, have a nice flight {Gadling}
Jun 14th 2011 10:12AM Good Idea, but . . . what is going to be the cost for this??
And why not focus on the amazing LACK of outlets for charging in Airports today. To really help consumers and potential customers, Hudson could probably set up just a FREE charging Station in or near the stores. That way people can have the phones charged for free and browse at the same time.

Video: Cyclist hit by car and lands on feet {Gadling}
May 26th 2011 10:43PM After reading the comments, I stand by my earlier comments.
I would also like to point out that Seattle is the Home of one of the larger "Critical Mass" Bicycle Communities.
For those who are not familiar with "Critical Mass". The purpose is to intentionally hinder traffic to point out that Bicyclists have road rights as well. The Seattle area has had incidents where cyclists have pinned drivers in their cars and actually have beaten drivers.
So maybe this answers the "Why was it filmed?" Question.
