Baby is sent through X-ray machine at LAX
A woman places her month-old grandson in a bin for carry-on items. Doctors later determine he did not get a dangerous dose of radiation.

Transportation Security Administration website tips:"Never leave babies in an infant carrier while it goes through the X-ray machine."

"We're trying to figure out what changes we can make, short of putting up signs saying, 'Don't put your baby through the X-ray machine,' "

Interesting but what does this news have to do with the Golden Era?

With all due respect, ITG - a lot of the news posted in this section has little to do with the GE, yet people have been more than happy to discuss and debate the various subjects.

Perhaps they should...in several languages. Sometimes people need things spelling out.

So the real question is, is any of it relevant to the GE or is it a general news forum?

Radar! X-Rays!
All that futuristic stuff was a staple of the GE not to Mention GE-- General Electric!

I want my spy camera and my X-ray glasses I ordered from the Comic Books!! Came back from the mail box and was skunked again!!!

A baby getting X-rayed!!! Sounds like an underground comic book story line from the late 40's. The kind that parents would ban! "It will rot my child's brain!!"

What boggles the mind is a person's common sense to put a month old into an x-ray machine!!

With all due respect too, this was an issue we discussed as bartenders recently and seems there's a consensus that modern news is okay here. I had always understood it was news related to the GE, which is why I brought it up. Clarification was seeked and clarification was gained among the bartenders.

Baby HULK

1966 Theme song--"Doc Bruce Banner/Belted by gamma rays/ Turns into the Hulk/ Ain't he so Glamo-rays/ wrecking the town/ with the power of a bull/ A'int no monster/ He's the ever-loving Hulk/hulk/hulk"


It is sad that ...technology advances itself not the understanding of technology.
