Thumbs down The Back Scanners Are Either Useless or Extremely Dangerous

I went through security and got the backscanner. This airport has no lounge so I wanted to go outside. I went through 3 backscanner xrays. I did it with a full bag and a bandage on my tattoo. Not one alarm.

Either the backscanner doesn't show anything--and is useless. Or, more likely, it shows a great amount of detail with a high radiation cost (we don't know this because the government doesn't publish the data.

I know what kind of radiation it takes to distinguish between feces and paste.

I support the millimeter scanners, but after today will always opt out of the backscanner
