  • @rockyflatsgear that is not true at all. if it was true, then the airports would never be aloud to have them

  • The backscatter machine shown uses 60,000eV (mean energy) x-ray source, about 2% of the x-ray is reflected/scattered off the body. The remaining 98% 1/2 passes through a 10" thick body the other 1/2 is absorbed. X-ray energy breaks chemical bonds and scrambles your RNA/DNA a precursor to cancer. We agree with the TSA person avoid the machine and "Opt out" for the pat down. We make privacy x-ray absorbing undergarment for medical, security workers and frequent fliers. RockyFlatsGear(.)com
