The massive Interphone cellphone study released earlier this year dismissed its own work because it failed to prove what researchers were looking for, namely, evidence of adverse effects of cellphones. Also rejected was evidence in their research that showed cellphones may reduce brain-tumour risk. The Interphone researchers may well have missed the real story in their work because they didn’t want to see it.

Active millimeter-wave imaging combines a source of millimeter wave energy with a detector and works as radar does, “illuminating” the area to be searched with millimeter waves and then imaging the reflected waves. This technology uses low energy, low intensity reflected x-rays to scan an object to generate an image.

Whole body imagining backscatter technology was created to enhance security in airports and other vulnerable areas, and can detect liquids, contraband, ceramics, explosives, narcotics, concealed currency and weapons. Whole Body Imaging Backscatter technology relies on a narrow, low intensity x-ray beam scanned over the body’s surface at high speed.
