Of course today we have prison visitors being x-rayed prior to 

entering the prison, and, there are airport screening areas where an 

individual can be x-rayed (with permission) to avoid a full body 

search.



Wes's comment gets into radiation safety (where in this case, the 

dose would be minimal I expect, and should not be an issue), the 

legal system and the individual's consent to have the x-ray taken.
