[ RadSafe ] NBC News story on airport scanner

[Perle, Sandy]

Thanks Peter.

I wish they had used a more representative reference though. Stating that 25 mrem is considered the "safe" government value send a wrong message and will cause more public mistrust and even concerns about necessary medical diagnostic procedures.

Regards,

Sandy

Sandy,

I believe that is an EPA standard for release of facilities.
