Accumlating radiation is not good for you. Top or prominent or any oncologists will agree with that.
Neither is being blown up in a plane.

Gracie, the docs are only saying they do not subject themselves to the radiation for health reasons and they are oncologists and neurologists.
They go for the pat-down instead because they fear the accumulated exposure to the radiation of the scanners.
You know I would do neither, but you are free to choose your own position to acquire the false sense of flying security so many think they are getting.
So ........... if you are the one pulled out of line for the enhanced security .............
You may hold your hands over you head, spread your legs and get bombarded with full body radiation head to toe ........
Or, you can do as these oncologists prefer ........
And hold your hands out and spread your legs and let the person in the blue uniform feel every square inch of your body.
