Please, people like you think you're so smart, but the majority of us, who know how to argue, and know how to speak up when something is wrong, laugh at you people since you insist on making yourselvrs //sound like/// you've got the mental capacity of a retarded fetus.

@Jefgg You have to remember two of the flights that were hijacked on 9-11-2001 originated at Boston Logan!

The machines have multiple (3 front 3 rear in dual rapiscan systems) x-ray sources at the groin level yes, the tissue closer gets a larger dose. The x-rays can be as high as 150KVp stronger than a CT machine (125KVp) a few bounce off most are absorbed deep in the body scramble DNA and mess up cells.

The cancer deaths from mass irradiating the public will kill many down the road. You are correct x-rays are not "safe" medical imaging people work very hard to minimize your exposure for a medical benefit. Expecting mothers, elderly and the young should avoid x-rays, period.

Muslims should not be allowed the privilege of air travel. Problem solved. If they don't like it they can take a boat to Baghdad. Israeli airlines are very safe because they profile terrorists. But the American politicians don't have the balls to keep our country safe from smelly inbred terrorists. Muslims view civil rights, kindness and consideration as signs of weakness. These animals need to be kept in line and in their proper place. It is the only thing they understand.
