[h1]TSA admits bungle as tests on body scanners show TEN times more radiation than expected

The results of tests on the radiation levels at x-ray body scanners that have been put in airports acorss America are flawed, the Transportation Security Administration admits.
The tests came back showing ten times more radiation than was expected.
The TSA says the scanners will be re-tested because there was a 'calculation error' in the safety studies.
Flawed tests: A new full body scan at Boston's Logan Airport. Radiation level tests were wrong, the TSA says, because some of the people missed out one of the key steps in the test
It added that the machines, there are now at least 500 of them at nearly 80 airports, meet all the necessary safety standards and would remain in use while further tests are carried out.
The pro-passenger group, the Association for Airline Passenger Rights, said the government to stop using the $180,000 machines that produce a virtual-nude image of the body until new tests are concluded in May.
Brandon Macsata, executive director of the group, said: 'Airline passengers have enough concerns about flying — including numerous ones about how TSA conducts its haphazard security screenings. So it is the TSA’s responsibility to ensure passengers are not being exposed to unhealthy amounts of radiation.'
Another group that opposes the machines, the Electronic Privacy Information Centre (EPIC), is calling for their use to be stopped until new health studies are concluded.
Controversial: The introduction of the body scanners and 'pat downs' has brought protests at many airports
EPIC’s executive director Marc Rotenberg is expected to address the issue before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on Wednesday.
'These risks could have been more carefully assessed,' he said.
The fiasco comes as radiation paranoia grips the U.S. because of fears surrounding the nuclear plant disaster in Japan.
President Obama has called for calm as worried Americans panic-buy drugs to protect themselves against Japan's nuclear fallout. The U.S. Surgeon General has warned Americans to 'be prepared.'
TSA spokesman Sarah Horowitz said the tests actually prove the safety of the machines.
'It would appear that the emissions are 10 times higher. We understand it as a calculation error,' she said.
On the rise: There are 500 of scanners at American airports and more are on the way
Los Angeles-based Rapiscan has a contract to deliver another 250 machines at a cost of about $180,000 each.
Miss Horowitz said Rapiscan technicians are required to test radiation levels ten times in a row, then divide the figure by ten to produce an average radiation measurement.
Unfortunately, that did not happen in several cases, she added.
'Certainly, the errors are not acceptable. It’s not every report. We believe the technology is safe,' she said.
'We’ve done extensive, independent testing. It doesn’t raise alarms in terms of safety.'
