The government allowed testing of atomic bombs in Utah and New Mexico in the ‘50s with no safe guards for those living where the wind carried the radioactive particles. We grew up east of Los Alamos and played in radioactive snow when we were children. We drank milk from cows that grazed on radioactive pastures. We have had enough government induced radioactivity, thank you very much, and many of our friends and relatives are already dead of cancer. We will never fly again if this foolish scanning adds to the radioactivity we have already accumulated in our bodies because of our government’s wanton disregard for our health.
Yes.
our government’s wanton disregard for our health.
Do we all (over sixty let’s say) remember the shoe stores, and the foot X-ray machines?
IIRC I believe those machines were banned for the same reason as discussed here.
You do realize that each time you fly you are adding more than 100x the dose you would get from one scan?
Resending as I meant to send that message to george76 as well as you kitty, and thank you for the ping too.
My original post I forgot to send to george76:
