Isn’t there a fair risk to pilots, cop-pilots & flight attendants from repeated exposure to the ‘low level doses of radiation from the screeners?
I would think that immune systems could be compromised & serious health problems could be in their futures.
Assistants in a dental office are covered with a full body blanket of lead just for taking your tooth x-rays.
How is this any different??
I can see where these people could get 3 screenings a day.
BTW- IF a PILOT wants to cause a problem- he doesn’t have to carry a weapon. He can just crash the plane with all aboard.
The entire thing is out of control.
Over 30 illegals were getting flight training at a school & we are all getting probed & embarassed.
A caller to a local radio show asked about this:
ARE the TSA employees required to change their gloves after each ‘pat-down’???
If someone is incubating an infectious disease, it could be passed on to everyone touched in sequence.
Are they changing gloves??

I am extremely, dangerously allergic to latex. Are they wearing latex gloves? Do they have vinyl replacements?
Hell NO, they don’t change gloves. I’ve never seen that. it is very third world if you ask me...very unsanitary.
From what I've read, the new scanners can't detect stuff inside one's body. X-rays reveal stuff inside one's body. Sounds to me like they are two different kinds of technology/radiation. Not that I want to go through one of them.
Sometimes I check a website Professional Pilots Rumor Network I think it’s called - and they don’t like this at all. They don’t want to go through unproven Xray technology all the time when just by flying they get a lot more radiation than most people.
