Point of Sale Scanners

[Sharron A Daly <sdaly@csd4.csd.uwm.edu>]

A couple of resources for information on (and I use the word very 
loosely!!) radiation "burns" from point of sale scanners --- which are 
classified as Class 2a lasers --- would be:

Laser Institute of America
12424 Research Parkway, Suite 125
Orlando, FL  32826
(407) 380-1553

and/or

David Sliney, U.S. Army Environmental Hygiene Agency

I've seen comments from Dave Sliney on this bulletin board before, so 
perhaps if he sees your question he'll offer some thoughts.
