Front Page CNN.com: Airport body-scan radiation under scrutiny

http://www.cnn.com/2010/TRAVEL/11/12...ex.html?hpt=T2

They're arriving at airports across the country. Some complain they are invasive and an assault on our privacy. But are body scanners at security checkpoints dangerous?

Some scientists and two major airline pilots unions contend not enough is known about the effects of the small doses of X-ray radiation emitted by one of the two types of airport scanning machines.
I'm really happy this is getting mainstream media, front and center attention.
