Reality Check by Dave Whamond for November 10, 2023

Ouch. This may be closer to the truth than you’d think. TSA screener is your new general practitioner.

Egads. Not them radiations causes cancer?

But he has to stay in there for 25 minutes.

My doctor’s office has two pets that roam the facility. A yellow Labrador Retriever and a gray Tabby cat. Yep! For Lab tests and cat scans.

I’ll show myself out!

My late kitty got a cat scan….literally. To see what was wrong with her. It was unfixable, unfortunately. :( :(

OK, I’m being pedantic; please laugh at the clever comic and skip my comment below.

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) doesn’t use x-rays; airport scanners don’t use MRI. CAT (Computer Aided Tomography) scans can use either, and refers to how the images are handled, not how they are acquired.

the guy confused it for a tanning bed…

Why does this seem like a real thing?

Asked an MRI technician what the strangest reason for halting the procedure was that she had experienced …get this …

the patient (a little old lady) had a small, but LOADED, 22 pistol in her pocket …!

( yikes )

If they find something, TSA performs a colonoscopy.

Just remember: a stunt like this can get you anything from a 3-hour interrogation to 5 years in prison.

That kind makes a lot less noise than an MRI machine. But they are better at sterilizing rats.

When they screen for drugs, is that Imaging Coca?

The airport scans things thousands of times a day for free and yet a doctor ordered CRT will cost you thousands! WTHeck!
