| Subject: Airport Scanners Are Safe, Government Says - Which Means They're Not Thu Mar 01, 2012 1:03 am | |
| A new government report is urging the public not to worry about the safety of full-body X-ray machines at airports, saying a person would have to pass through one dozens of times a day for a year before reaching annual radiation limits.
The report was issued this week by the Homeland Security Department after the agency reviewed research on the machines, observed them in use and interviewed many scientists and officials. About 250 of the machines, known as backscatter units, have been installed at 29 airports across the country since March 2010.
