Yes it does. But unfortunately... our local management and HQ aren't saying anything. The local management even released a letter saying they ordered a study and there was no corroboration between the high rates of cancer being reported here in Boston and the X-rays. Except I believe this study was done with the regular x-rays not the backscatter.

Furthermore, we're prohibited (I believe) from wearing dosimeters, even personal ones. My union, AFGE, wants all TSOs to file CA-2s to inundate HQ with so we can push for dosimeters.
