I just came across this old BBC news article published in 1999 about flights radiation... which might be of interest but is quite scaring:

excerpt: "frequent flyers on transatlantic flights are exposed to the equivalent of 170 chest X-rays a year, putting them at increased risk of cancer, according to the US Federal Aviation Administration."

Seems that flying Concorde was more dangerous than expected. the same applies to private jets owners as well.

For some "leftist" people both flying "reasonably" and reading the Board ( are there any here? ), this will sound like a revenge of Mother Nature on the arrogant rich flying from one country to exploit another...

Us aviation lawyers will love this article too!!!! ($$$$$$$) ...we FFers might not!

enjoy your reading!

PS I'm well above the critical limit...is there any virtual tomb on flyertalk.com ?
