TSA Makes The Rules Up As They Go Along.

They shoulda lynched her ***.

I'm no stranger to sarcasm, but google is wonderful.

Care to answer my sarcasm rather than making a vague statement about google?

Sure :3

X-rays are a relatively safe method of investigation and the radiation exposure is relatively low, depending upon the study. Experimental and epidemiological data, currently do not support the proposition that there is a threshold dose of radiation below which there is no increased risk of cancer.[26] However, this is under increasing doubt.[27] Diagnostic X-rays account for 14% of the total annual radiation exposure from man-made and natural sources worldwide.[28] It is estimated that the additional radiation will increase a person's cumulative risk of getting cancer by age 75 by 0.6–1.8%.[29] The amount of absorbed radiation depends upon the type of X-ray test and the body part involved.[30] CT and fluoroscopy entail higher doses of radiation than do plain X-rays.

To place the increased risk in perspective, a plain chest X-ray or dental X-ray will expose a person to the same amount from background radiation that we are exposed to (depending upon location) everyday over 10 days.[31] Each such X-ray would add less than 1 per 1,000,000 to the lifetime cancer risk. An abdominal or chest CT would be the equivalent to 2–3 years of background radiation, increasing the lifetime cancer risk between 1 per 10,000 and 1 per 1,000.[31] For instance, the effective dose to the torso from a CT scan of the chest of a 14 year old girl is about 5mSv.[32] These numbers are very small compared to the roughly 40% chance of developing any cancer during our lifetime.[33] It should be noted that the accurate estimation of effective doses due to CT is difficult. For instance, the estimation uncertainty range is about ±19% to ±32% for adult head scans depending upon the method used.[34]

Fathers exposed to diagnostic x-rays are more likely to have infants who contract leukemia, especially if exposure is closer to conception or includes two or more X-rays of the lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract or lower abdomen.[35] The risk of radiation is greater to unborn babies, so in pregnant patients, the benefits of the investigation (X-ray) should be balanced with the potential hazards to the unborn fetus.[36][37] In the US, there are an estimated 62,000,000 CT scans performed annually, including more than 4,000,000 on children.[30] Avoiding unnecessary X-rays (especially CT scans) will reduce radiation dose and any associated cancer risk.[38]

You are able to quantify the amount of radiation that is emitted by these x-ray machines?
Are you a *** genius our something?
I never knew you knew so much about X-ray machines, you should probably try to see if you can get a job in a research firm to make them safer or something since you obviously know how dangerous radiation "can be" and you obviously know that everyone who goes through the scanner is going to die and be in extreme pain?
Or have there been any reports of this?

There's a reason nurses and dental hygienists leave the rooms before taking your X-rays. There's a reason you wear that lead apron/bib too, its cause all X-rays are dangerous. Is this quantity of X-rays dangerous to ppl? Probably not, but that doesn't mean you should be needlessly exposed to it.

I got no animosity towards ya Vin, just don't see the need to copy and paste paragraphs in documents accessible to all within 2-3 clicks.

Also I know that x-rays (at least in a medical line) are relatively safe on human beings, but it has the potential for harm, especially on those more sensitive to radiation; ie: pregnant women and children.
Hence, why I wouldn't risk running breast milk (something consumed by a small child) through radiation of any kind.

so you know of the effects of radiation on substances?
you make vague claims and then tell me to google it.
but shouldn't you google it rather than making vague claims?

there's a reason this scanning machine is...well a scanning machine too.
or do these TSA agents leave the premises?
have you went through one/been in an airport around one?

I dunno, but I wouldn't want it on something that would be consumed by my baby.

Q. Is imaging technology safe?
A. Advanced imaging technology is safe and meets national health and safety standards. Backscatter technology was evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH), the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), and the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL). For comparison, a single scan using backscatter technology produces exposure equivalent to two minutes of flying on an airplane, and the energy projected by millimeter wave technology is thousands of times less than a cell phone transmission.

Right cause the mother with a newborn from Kansas City, MO carrying around some breast milk is the one that's gonna blow up the plane...

I suppose you'll be first in line then for the "suppository" search?

FDA also green lights drugs that increase chances of heart attacks by 50%. Awesome!

LOOOOOOOTS OF ASSUMING GOING ON IN HERE.
YOU ARE MAKING AN *** OUT OF U AND ME GUIZ!

care to converse directly to the stuff you quoted rather than assuming a whole bunch of other ***?

Scary when this stuff gets green lighted

Well stop acting stupid and asking irrelevant questions then....

No I have not been in/through one. What difference does it make, they still emit X-rays don't they?

I do not know if the agents leave the premises or not but that doesn't mean they aren't otherwise protected from the radiation does it?

so you know for a fact how strong this x-ray machine is?

Probably not, but that doesn't mean you should be needlessly exposed to it.
