[ RadSafe ] MD says TSA Scanner is Health Risk Chance of faailure of a normally working scanner!!

[parthasarathy k s]

Whar are the chances that a normally working scanner starts to generate higher 
amounts of x-ray energy causing greater doses? How often we have to measure 
x-ray output to ensurem that nothing is amiss?
