This makes me wonder how safde he was to be toucing other people. After chemo, the person shouldn't kiss or have sex due to the chemicals coming out of the skin. So shouldn't that be appropriate here that a person should be warned too? I would want to detox afterwards to get possible cancerous material out of me.

They've done so much testing out here in the desert years ago that everyone that has been here for any time has been exposed to some radioactivity.

BTW, the cancer doesn't leak out of your pores so you can't "get possible cancerous material out of you".

Unfortunately, you are probably right, the testing has exposed us all. That might account for the high rate of cancer around here. I know you can detox metals and other toxins out of you. Why not radioactive toxins? Anyone know for sure?

It think radioactive toxins bind on a molecular level and are not "flushed" out.

Another very original thought. That was brilliant Airheadman.
Did you happen to catch the play on words? Brilliant, eh eh brilliant.
Do you have something else more productive to do, other than harass me. I was joking on my post, maybe not funny but lets try to move on. Having a derogatory statement for everything I post is childish and a waste of space on the forum.

This happened to my husband two years ago. We were actually shocked that Border Patrol had this type of detection system going. We thought it was great that they did though. We didn't have any trouble.

As far as the radiation, it wasn't THAT serious. However, we kept the kids away from him for a day or two.

This happened to my dad too. He was coming back from a stress test in Las Cruces and he was pulled over and asked if he had a stress test done. My dad was shocked that they had this kind of stuff available to them. So now everytime he has a stress test done, he sets off their little belt and he gets stopped.

This is just one more way of getting you to give up your Constitutional rights. If they were serious about catching anyone, they would be down on the borders with their hi-tek stuff. How many terrorists have USBP caught at the check points? Doesn't seem like they'd try to go that route. A donkey and the desert seems more likely.

Finally someone else(a cancer doctor) is stating what has been obvious to me all along.

Limit cell phone use ESPECIALLY with children:

Pittsburgh cancer center warns of cell phone risks

My only problem with this is what if you just happen to not have the doctors paperwork with you on the one occasion. They will more than likely tear your car apart and make you put it back together when they are done.

Better have your paperwork then. Keeping our country and borders safe from terrorists is a serious matter.

The radiation and the cancer juice in your body can be removed if you buy tose little pads to wear on your feet. Put them on and in 2 days they turn all black from the toxins pulled out of your body through the soles of your feet. They really work or they wouldn't be allowed to sell them. And yes, I am an expert. On everything.

No. You tell them it is being set off because of a medical procedure. They scan you, scan your vehicle. This will show the source of radiation is you, with possibly a trace showing in the place you were sitting. Really quite simple.

No, saw a news report on those and they don't work. Cancer isn't a "juice" by the way.

Here's another risk. Glad I didn't get granite countertops! To read the complete article, click on the link. It is an eye-opener for sure.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/24/garden/24gr...

What’s Lurking in Your Countertop?

SHORTLY before Lynn Sugarman of Teaneck, N.J., bought her summer home in Lake George, N.Y., two years ago, a routine inspection revealed it had elevated levels of radon, a radioactive gas that can cause lung cancer. So she called a radon measurement and mitigation technician to find the source.

“He went from room to room,” said Dr. Sugarman, a pediatrician. But he stopped in his tracks in the kitchen, which had richly grained cream, brown and burgundy granite countertops. His Geiger counter indicated that the granite was emitting radiation at levels 10 times higher than those he had measured elsewhere in the house.

Is it really a serious matter thanks for letting me know that. In todays military you often go to a doctors appoinment and you will have no paper work after you go it is all electronic now. Even when a military member is put on a medical profile now they send it through E-mail to your commander and mobility NCO and you do not get a copy. It is a new paperless military or at least that is what it is headed for. So much for your you better have your paperwork with you.

Ok, better not have granite countertops or use a cell phone either. Both can be cancer risks.

So then you get a free proctological exam because they think you are stashing something. Just playing devils advocate here people who are doing nothing wrong need to defend the right they are entitled to does a radiation meter blinking automatically give someone the right to search your vehicle under the law. Just asking questions to see what people think.
