[ RadSafe ] Cat out of the bag after passing throughairportscanner :-D

[stewart farber]

Perhaps the reason that airport security has become so expensive is that the 
screeners have upgraded their basic low dose x-ray units to C[a]T scanners. 
Slows down the lines as well.

Also, are there any standards on ALARA for cats being passed through airport 
security x-ray units?

Hey, it's Friday afternoon.
