From the article...
A security screener at Denver International Airport has been reprimanded and several others at airports across the country put on administrative leave for sending their bodies through checkpoint x-ray machines to see what their brains look like.

TSA screeners loooking for their own brains? How long did that search take?!?

As for the screeners’ health, the manufacturers of the x-ray equipment say the exposure is actually too low to hurt anyone. They say a chest x-ray at a hospital would be 50 times stronger than an x-ray from an airport system.

Further reports indicate that due to the low levels of exposure, as well as the thickness of the screeners heads, no gray matter was actually detected on the x-ray.

Wasn't there a post that ran along this same lines just a few days ago?

Something about the intelligence level of the folks that represent our TSA workfarce, - aaahhh - I mean force.

I gotta go find that again.

The airport was shut down for four hours while they searched for the brains. Eventually it was determined that the screeners had entered the airport with no brains to begin with.
