1 meter is ~ 3 feet. TSOs have always been that close to it when I see them.
You mean like during the course of an 8 hour shift? or the 24+ hours it is on?
I've been tempted to 'drop a dosimeter ' near the scanner. I know in Atlanta that no one will notice it for at least a month.
And I'm sure it has been brought up elsewhere - but in the back of my mind with thousands going in it and around it how often is the maintenance and calibration? I'm sure that info is SSI.
