The Fear ProfiteersOXFORD – Just when it seemed that America’s “Homeland Security state” could not get more surreal, the United States Transportation Security Administration has rolled out a costly Scylla and Charybdis at major airports: either you accept dangerous doses of radiation and high-resolution imaging of your naked body, or, worried about the health risks of cumulative radiation, you opt out of the new full-body x-ray machines (rapidly dubbed “porno-scanners”).

For example, the biologist Paul Z. Myers of the University of Minnesota has described an animal study in which fish embryos experience non-linear toxicity from alcohol, a toxin that causes severe deformities in zebrafish embryos at high doses and prolonged exposure.
Some workers at Fukushima are likely to have received higher doses of radiation (not only of I-131, but also of other, longer-lived, more dangerous radioisotopes, such as Cesium-137) than would activate the hormetic response; in March, three workers suffered radiation burns from highly radioactive water that breached their protective clothing.
And people (especially infants or children) exposed to high levels of I-131 before they could be protected by iodine prophylaxis might well have received cancer-inducing doses.
One thing is certain: at all but extremely low doses – perhaps only slightly higher than background levels – radiation causes cancer.
