You know, I debated of spending some time to setup a bogus scientific journal site just for him... Maybe even charge $30 for the full PDF version.

Hmmm, my coffee must not have kicked in at that point. I skipped right over the "mouse pilots" part and just assumed "mice."

It seems entirely plausible that they have exposed mice to backscatter scanners for extended periods and studied the reactions/effects. That study I would be interested in, but it seems rdtsc was making a funny. I understand now.
