Looks like the airport TSA backscatter scanners might be damaging DNA too:<br />http://macedoniaonline.eu/content/view/17090/56/<br /><br />Dave cuts loose on all the US airline security and TSA rubbish, their stupid reactionary process to every new security threat, and the new $9 Australia Post "Security fee" for all packages going into the US of 453g (16oz). <br />How will affect local business who export to the US<br />http://www.dontronics.com/pdf/APO_US_surcharge.pdf<br /><br />and don't try and ship any item with a tiny lithium coin cell in it!:<br />http://auspost.com.au/personal/dangerous-goods-personal.html<br /><br />Quotes directly from Australia Post about the $9 fee when I asked them:<br /><br />"Unfortunately Australia Post is not able to discuss security measures in place for either incoming or outgoing mail items."<br /><br />"Some countries have had to ban all items being sent by air to the US, I think we got off lightly in comparison."<br /><br />"The fee is charged by Australia Post & only covers our costs of the increased security arrangements imposed by the US..."<br /><br />"We decided out of fairness to implement the fee rather than ceasing the carriage of all airmail items over 435g to the US."
