Even the pilots and flight attendants are in the process of getting a waiver to avoid this after raising a stink about it and threatening not to fly.

Here's one report concerning skin cancer.

Thank you for the post....you could be very right I have done some research on the amount of X-Rays but much of it contradictory. Not sure what I am going to do but I don't have to fly until the 2nd week in Dec. Maybe we will be back to normal by then.
