Dosimeters and airport security



Can anyone address the issue of dosimeters and airport security?  If a radiation worker with a dosimeter wants to travel on an airliner to visit another facility, should he/she take their own dosimeter with them?  Or, should they use the facility's visitor badge?  Any idea what dose might be expected if the dosimeter goes through the x-ray screening machine?

 

Thanks in advance.
