Not sure about whether these levels of radiation are truly a concern seeing as radiation on planes is much higher (over time, and that is a lot longer than a scan time) at cruising altitude anyway.

Still, I've never been through an extensive search or scan at an airport, frankly both options sound a bit invasive. Besides they seem to demostrate those scans with hidden guns a lot of the time, and that's something the old scanners would pick up as well. Also, they are skin deep, so how long before they decide to check your body cavities like they do in prisons >_>
