Airport X-rays & Computers -Reply

[Kathleen Kaufman <KKAUFMAN@dhs.co.la.ca.us>]

I have actually measured the radiation exposure from the x-ray machines
that are used to check carry-on baggage, & confirmed what the
manufacturer says- it's about 0.15 milliRoentgen/scan. Also, I travel a lot,
& always put my purse through with the film badge in it- it has never
come back with any reading even when several trips have been taken. I
don't think the rad exposure could have any impact on a computer.
