The encroaching Big Brother nightmare has escalated even further with a recent announcement that the U.S. government has purchased mobile X-ray vans to scan people and vehicles at sporting events, road stops and even at random. The initiative is part of alleged counter-terror efforts that include improving the ability to detect bombs, weapons and other contraband that may potentially be used in a terrorist attack.
The custom-made radiation vans are produced by American Science & Engineering, a Billerica, Mass.-based company that has already sold more than 500 Z Backscatter Vans, or ZBVs, to both U.S. and foreign governments. The radiating technology installed in the vans is the same as that found in full-body airport scanners, which were also fuel for recent controversy over their encroachment of personal freedoms.
“This really trips up the creep factor because it’s one of those things that you sort of intrinsically think the government shouldn’t be doing,” Frederick Lane, author of American Privacy, is cited as saying in a recent Yahoo! News article. “[L]egally, the issue is the boundary between the government’s legitimate security interest and privacy expectations we enjoy in our cars.”
According to the report, U.S. law enforcement officials have already deployed many of these ZBVs in cities across the country, including in a recent operation near Atlanta, Ga., where the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) used vans to scan random vehicles.
Many are concerned not only about the technology’s blatant and unconstitutional invasion of privacy, but also about the health effects of blasting large doses of ionizing radiation at people and vehicles without warrant. Since such activity is technically physical assault, criminal and civil lawsuits against federal and state authorities that engage in it are likely to arise.

“Regardless of where you fall on the spectrum of national security…you have to be realistic that this is another way in which the government is capturing information,” Lane went on to say. “I just have some real problems with the idea of even beginning a campaign of rolling surveillance of American citizens, which is what this essentially is.” (10.03.2010, Natural News, Ethan A.

"A society whose citizens refuse to see and investigate the facts, who refuse to
believe that their government and their media will routinely lie to them and fabricate a

get." Ian Williams Goddard
The fact is that "political correctness" is all about creating uniformity. Individualism is one of the biggest obstacles in the way of the New World Order. They want a public that is predictable and conditioned to do as it's told without asking questions.
