This is an excellent use of the risk versus benefit weigthing factor. 
The benefit of flying safely far outweighs the risk of minimal 
radiation exposure. In fact, I would gladly accept a lot higher 
exposure to promoteand facilitate the basic human need to "continue 
life" .. which is what this device is all about. I believe that the 
general public will accept this as well, having been exposed (excuse 
the pun) to the increasing terrorism throughout the world, and which 
is now hitting our shores as well.
