Sorry, folks, but I don't feel obligated to provide you any further information. It simply comes down to this: the AIT is safe for use. You are exposed to much higher doses of ionizing radiation during your commercial flight than you are during a six second AIT scan. There are many other common use items that expose you to higher doses of ionizing radiation.

If you don't feel comfortable with the AIT scan, then by all means opt-out. You will be patted down instead.

From my perspective, I don't care which option you choose. You're going to get screened one way or the other.

You're supposed to be the smart ones. Figure it out.
