Additionally, there has been 0 historical information on the
type of x-rays that are used in the airport x-ray machines.
There's never been a use of such technology before. If you
do some checking, X-Ray specialists are nervous about them,
because the technology dumps most of it's radiation in the
epidermal areas. That is, it may only be as much radiation
exposure as 2 minutes of flight, but 99% of that radiation
is being dumped into your epidermis, not being evenly
distributed about your body.
To get an idea, take the amount of sunlight you get on your
entire body. Now put a 2 ft diameter magnifying glass
between you and the sun, and concentrate all that light onto
a one square inch portion of your skin. You're getting the
same amount of light, right, so you should be fine, right?
Just make sure you have access to burn cream or a trauma
center before you do. But it's the same light, so you
should be just fine with the logic people use for the x-ray
scanners.
Also note, an x-ray machine by law in a medical office
requires a technician who is trained, and retrained, and
retested annually. TSA X-ray machines require a training
course that's a couple of weeks long and covers ALL TSA
procedures, not just the x-ray operation. That means it's
all of probably a few hours training. Oh, and TSA is
forbidden to wear radiation detectors around the machines,
whereas x-ray technicians are required to wear them.

My dentist doesn't do that.
His preference is to adjust the greys (and
other image aspects) in order to "view it from different angles". Angles is the
wrong word, but I hope it gets the concept across.
