[ RadSafe ] Cat out of the bag afterpassingthroughairportscanner:-D

[edmond0033]

They just put them in the carrier with and absorbent (paper) and give the 
animal a pill or tranquillizer shot.  It lasted the whole trip.  An 
acquaintance of mine took hers to Fort Myers, FL and back this past winter 
and told me the story.  Also it's hard to walk a cat as they may strangled 
themselves.  If they pass them through the X-Ray Machine, the animal 
shouldn't get more than 15 mrem (.0015 mSv).
