I think they had the headline wrong:
Airport Body Scanners Safe
(as not having them)
if they don't break!
"The probability of getting a fatal cancer is about one in 30 million, which puts it lower than the probability of being killed by being struck by lightning in any year in the United States, which is about one in 5 million," he said.
The probability of getting cancer from a scanner is low, but so is the probability of being blown up in an airplane
"It's probably equal to or less than the probability of a fatal cancer from the body scan," he said. "It's pointless. I don't see a reason to do it. It's totally show."
About equal odds of being killed by terrorists - WTH?
"I opt not to go through [the scanner], because I don't know what the probability of failure is," Rez said.
But.... He said they were safe! Wasn't that the headline?
