It doesn't take long for ionizing radiation to cause cell damage -- in fact, it takes a lot less time than it takes you walk through the back-scanner. I don't know about you, but I've had melanoma. I'm not going near an uncalibrated, unmaintained source of ionizing radiation that can be turned on by someone in a remote room who is not a licensed x-ray technician. YMMV.
