I disagree with your naive and condescending reply. To assume we have thorough understanding on long term effects of any new technology is grossly irresponsible.<p>But then again, who cares when its other people, amiright?<p>EDIT: I&#x27;m not some ignorant bumpkin. I&#x27;ve worked with physicists to do data taking for a detector at the LHC. I have a solid fundamental understanding of physics.<p>Is it wrong to be cautious when hundreds of millions of people could be effected by a new technology with little to no oversight, no resources for them in the event its discovered there are health effects, and little to no benefit for the actual process?<p>For fuck sake, Jon Stewart had to literally badger congressional representatives on camera to provide funding to first responders who are dying from cancer and other aliments from responding to the WTC on 9&#x2F;11. I&#x27;m supposed to have faith the US government is going to make things right if body scanners are causing health issues? Fuck. no.
