the cancer 1 in 30 million every scan sucks!!
soon i will be taking 16 flights a year x # years = 300 = 1 in 100,000 i will get cancer from flying
in like 15 years i will fly somewhere and stay, hope its a nice place
The backscatter machines are the ones to worry about, since they use x-ray. The dosing estimates provided by the TSA are based on full-body dosing, which ain't how backscatter works. Due to the wavelength used, the skin receives the dose -- which is concentration of the energy in a much lower volume.
My way of responding to skeptics is, "Why not stare right into a laser? It's just 5 milliwatts. That's a tiny fraction of the light output of a regular light bulb."
All electromagnetic energy isn't the same.
thanks
