My mom will be flying over the Christmas holiday. With any luck she can get through ONT without a Full-Body X-Ray Machine experience, but returning from Dulles she is certainly going to encounter one. I'm going to buy a dosimeter for her to give the TSO she finds there.
Do you think the TSA will let the TSO keep it and wear it? Or will it be confiscated?
Fortunately, Dulles (my home airport) only has one Cancer Machine. It's in the basement black diamond lane in the baggage claim area. If she can get herself through the checkpoint without a wheel chair, she will be OK (on a relative scale). Make sure you don't go through Dulles from about 3-6 pm or in the morning before about 9 am. The airport is gridlock and the checkpoints are worse.
