This is a typical knee-jerk reaction.  The government is an easy scapegoat.  If
this has some sort of therapeutic value for you, you're welcome to continue.
However, I hope that you're not fooling yourself.

Regardless of the merits of current regulations, they are what they are because
that's what our peers (e.g., BEIR, ICRP, NCRP, ...) have recommended.  Perhaps
the standards were made overly conservative with an eye toward boosting
employment.  Now that these standards are inconvenient, it would not be
credible to suddenly recant them.

The opinions expressed are strictly mine.
It's not about dose, it's about trust.
