"Airport Body Scanners: More Radiation Than You Think?" March 2, 2001
Late last year, the American Pilots Association persuaded the TSA to allow pilots exemption from screening by full-body scanners. Captain Dave Bates, president of the association, argued that pilots "experience significantly higher exposure than most other occupations, and there is mounting evidence of higher-than-average cancer rates as a consequence."

Posted September 3, 2009
If you're in the sleep medication business, these are not bad times economically: sales of sleep meds are up. But if you're a person facing the question, to med or not to med, you may be confused. Advertising assures us that there's little danger from sleep meds, but the scare...

Late last year, the American Pilots Association persuaded the TSA to allow pilots exemption from screening by full-body scanners. Captain Dave Bates, president of the association, argued that pilots "experience significantly higher exposure than most other occupations, and there is mounting evidence of higher-than-average cancer rates as a consequence."
