Scientists at the University of California - San Francisco have been trying to get the government to listen to their concerns to the effect of irradiating everyone at our airports. Children and Women at risk for breast cancer are at more at risk of health problems.
These scientists are not satisfied with the governments response to this rapid proliferation of these X-ray machines, in good order, but who's monitoring these machines. If one develops a glitch and radiation is increased, are the operators trained to respond.
Government officials say it's low dose, and if the dose was distributed throughout the body it may be of little consequence, but the radiation is only penetrating and irradiating the first few millimeters of skin and your skin takes the full brunt of the dose.
This is one big science experiment and we are the guinea pigs.
