[ RadSafe ] MD says TSA Scanner is Health Risk

[Howard Long]

"Common sense " plus data like lower cancer rates where MORE radiation
(like Denver, Nuc Shipyard workers, fluoroscopy for TB, bomb survivors, mice
of Pollycove and other experimentors), etc.,
has this MD sitting on thoriated welding rods to get more of that high frequency sunshine.

Any ideas on how to spread this word, to counteract alarmist Blaylock's?
"Underexposed - What If Radiation Is Actually Good for You?", 
by engineer Ed Hiserodt, is on my waiting room table.

Without seeing data on these units, one can't justify such claims anything but hype. Using known values of such machines, the dose equivalent (whole body)  delivered per scan is on the order of .02 mrem.
