Well, we can't have people making reasonable choices based on facts, can we?

I'll admit to being fairly ignorant in what I'm about to say, but I'm at least basing it on some common sense. Couldn't the employees keep the dosimeters in a pocket? Maybe there's an argument to be made about clothing deflecting some of the rays, but actually that would more closely reflect the amount of radiation that reaches the scanner victim's skin.
