I am against both devices for privacy reasons, but am trying to understand the safety implications of the MMW. I know I am uncomfortable with the radiation from the backscatter one, but am trying to understand if there are also specific health concerns with the MMW.
There are no radiation concerns with the MMW. Which, quite frankly, compounds the stupidity of the TSA's decision to use Backscatter instead.
