You receive Athe same X-ray frequency by standing outside in the day & night. It is literally the exact same electro magnetic frequency.

The only difference is it's focused x-ray or all other types of EMF. So if you're mad about being scanned. Then might as well be mad about standing outside.

Just saying.

Have you ever focused sunlight with a magnifying glass? That’s the problem.

Comparing a 2 sec x-ray to your entire life walking around outside is miniscule. We are exposed to 50 mSv per year, that's without plane flights and all the other tech. It's only radiation, the same as the natural decay of atoms. Your own body puts off radiation.

We have evolved to handle it daily. I recommend taking some time to understand radiation before unrealistically fearing it.

I'm mean obviously.. don't go stand in front of it just because. Just like don't stare at the sun.

I pretty much do understand radiation. If you’re shooting thru metal, you need more energy than you use to pass thru bone and flesh. Do they certify the dose they irradiate across the check point? That’s a concern to me.
