Assuming the device they were provided to test was a standard device and that all TSA-maintained devices were maintained to the same standard -- things we are not allowed to know. Any given device could have been blasting pax with any amount of radiation and we wouldn't know because we aren't allowed to know what standards are used or what protocols are employed. Employees weren't even allowed to wear dosimeters.
So... no... the report tells us exactly nothing.
