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

[stewart farber]

Hi Ed,
My tongue-in-cheek comment about ALARA & cats was solely for the case where 
this one cat got passed inadvertently through a scanner while in its owners 
carry-on luggage.

Of course, any cat or dog in an animal carrier would not be passed through 
an x-ray scanner.
