[ RadSafe ] MD says TSA Scanner is Health Risk

[Dixon, John E. (CDC/ONDIEH/NCEH)]

It's good to see someone willing to step out admit low levels of
ionizing radiation are safe. It is also a bit surprising since it came
from San Francisco.

Regards,
John Dixon

In case this was missed, the UCSF radiologists came out against their
colleagues.  Two thumbs up!

I think the current uproar would be no different regardless of any PR
campaign TSA would have rolled-out. The public perception is consistent
and they simply are skeptical of any positive commentary.

TSA can also find many more true radiation experts to counter such
claims, it is
obviously a PR failure for not engaging the public ahead of time.
