RE: Exposure to Phograhic Film in Airport X-ray Scanners

[Lindsey Gary R Civ 88 ABW/EMO <Gary.Lindsey@wpafb.af.mil>]

We have an older unit here on base.  It takes 15 seconds for an object to pass all the way through the x-ray.  Sending a pressurized ion chamber through the unit, I measured 0.04 mrem.
