My point was, you get more radiation from flying than from the machines. I provided references.

Do you have a reference that shows that the scanners give you more radiation than the 200 microR per hour minimum from flight?

Do you have a reference showing how much radiation the scanners put out?

I think if you cut n paste the whole line, you can see the BIER VII report. I can’t get that link to post properly.

Yes, take the train. At ground level background radiation is around 20 microREM, depending of course on just where you are, the altitude and ground composition being the most important factors. You’ll get less radiation at ground level.

Did you read the report that I linked that says basically "pilots object to TSA scanners because of radiation risks _____ ?"

Do not bother to answer. I know you did not read it. I will believe the pilots -- over a testing company that makes money passing machines off on the public.

I would not trust BIG SIS with an electric train. Why should I volunteer to have my body scanned ___ ?
