[ RadSafe ] howard Long - Fly for radiation hormesis!

[Ruth Sponsler]

Re: Backscatter x-ray machines - 

Manufacturer info states that the dose from these
machines is very low - 0.1 microSv/scan and is about
1/100 of one day's natural background dose.

Even the baggage screening machines are quite low-dose
- check the links for rates:
