Recently opted out of a full body scan on a flight out of Pittsburgh. Reason ... I don't like x-rays of any type no matter how low the dose. My dentist might get a routine x-ray every 3 years or so. Bottom line, I certainly can understand why airline employees choose to opt out. They go thru TSA security checks every day ... that type of exposure to full body scanners is sure to be unhealthy.

Considering that the radiation dose of the flight itself is about 100x higher than that of the scan, you might want to rethink taking your next flight!
