The common denominator in all of these [transmissible mink encephalopathy - TME] outbreaks was either “cattle” or “unknown.” It was possible, of course, to imagine other scenarios, but Marsh believed he had at least strong circumstantial evidence that a TSE similar to mad cow disease already existed in U.S. cattle. “You can trace it back to feed real easy in mink,” Marsh said. “And then you’re left with the question, what was it in the feed that affected them?

Scanners enhance security they say? Yeah, right, I'll believe that when we find an honest politician. The real reason these scanners are in place, and the reason they're not going away is not to enhance national security, but to get the public used to the routine. Just in the last day or so DHS has announced plans to place these scanners and pat downs at train and bus stations, and at ports of entry and exit for ships.They're training us to become used to the abuse and treatment so they can obtain enhanced control over us voters and taxpayers.
