All this talk of the pictures ... radiation?! (Score 2)

Everyone seems to immediately focus in on the fact that these things show naked images of people and completely ignore the fact that these images are taken by low energy x-rays that bounce off after traveling a few millimeters into the skin. They have already shown that even these low energy x-rays can damage DNA, Chromosomes, and (in males) the ability to produce healthy children (The scrotum isn't thick enough to reflect all the radiation). Radiation is an accumulative issue ... being a frequent flyer already at increased risk just due to altitude in our atmosphere, but having full body irradiation once or twice a week could very well cause severe medical issues. I don't know about anyone else, but I fear cancer more then being killed by a terrorist on an airplane. And the idea that we are opting into getting cancer just makes it worse.
