When watching TV?
Sorry, the lot of your comments comes across as fear and superstition. No intelligence involved at all.
You are incorrect, sir.
Computer monitors and TV sets of the LCD kind produce NO - NADA - ZIP ionizing radiation whatsoever.
All CRT based monitors could create x-rays, but government regulations regarding voltage used, failsafe circuits, and LEADED glass in CRTS has eliminated ionizing radiation in CRT's since the 1960's.
Rapiscans produce x-rays - ionizing radiation - we don't know exactly how much, and we have no idea it's effect, as it is concentrated in the first 10mm of tissue, and doesn't pass through. 100% absorption vs 5% or less absorption in high power x-ray.
Buy yourself a lead jock!
