SAAN FRANCISCO (GaeaTimes.com)- It seems that the terrorist attack paranoia has gripped the US government hard and they are adopting every possible measure to eliminate the occurrences of such activities in the bud. The latest news is that US government and security officials are nowadays using Mobile X Ray vans to scan the contents of other vehicles on US streets in several locations. The privacy proponents are up in arms against such move and they are feeling that such actions violate the fundamental rights of the residents of USA in a way. The news has also made people curious and they are searching the web with keywords like Feds Radiating Americans now. A Massachusetts based company named American Science & Engineering has admitted that it sold near about 500 advanced Z Backscatter Vans to the US government along with other countries.

The news of Feds radiating Americans seems to be authentic. A counter terror operation was performed in Atlanta a few days back resulting in traffic snarl. In the exercise the Department of Homeland Security squads resorted to using mobile X-ray technology for scanning the inside of the trucks. However, this exercise was not related to any serious security threat as was reported later.

The news of Feds radiating Americans have made many people uneasy and they are also not comfortable with the so called full body scanners deployed in number of airports in the USA. The information security proponents are unhappy with this move and they are planning to take legal actions to stall these activities. The US security experts are countering their views though.
