Europe has banned x-ray body scanners that are used in U.S. airports. The E.U. did not want to risk civilians' health and safety. They knew this because PBS did an investigation on the scanners, and it is shown to damage DNA and cause cancer. Scientists say that even low amounts of radiation can raise the chances to get cancer. TSA, of course, proudly says that the scanner have found over 300 dangerous or illegal items. I think that a majority of these items are illegal drugs but that is just me. These scanners popped up after the failed underwear bomber.
