I just read on my FB feed about someone opting out of the airport security scanner due to radiation.
Has anyone done this? What are your reasoning's? Thoughts?
i have a pacemaker. i do not go through. it is a real pain in the butt. i get set to a side, and when someone has the time, they do a wand search, and a pat down. go through the machine.
Yes, I always opt out. I do not want to be irradiated any more than necessary. There is a lot of debate over whether the radiation is safe or not, but I would prefer not to take chances.
Once you figure out how to go about it, and get used to someone touching you, opting out is quick and painless.
