Those security cameras in public areas can't see private parts!!

(Tongue in cheek of course.)

Importance: Low

As the doses are so low, what difference would it be from all those
security camera's in public areas?

Anyone have access to licensing procedure for these devices? such as
guidelines of operation, license application forms and requirements,
etc.

regulation, although the ICRP lists them in the opposite order).
Exposing unknowing persons to radiation (admittedly low level) to
ostensibly prevent terrorism, particularly when the exposed persons may
not be citizens of the country doing the irradiatiing, is a new
balancing of risks and benefits that has not been part of the normal
equation until now. And the balance is different if we are talking about
daily screening of everything or particular screening of containers,
naval vessels, etc., in the case of a specific, credible risk scenario.
Fun stuff philosophically, frightening stuff practically.
