"Each 3 second scan exposes a person to 3 microRem of radiation. This level compares with the 10 to 20 microRem per hour that a person receives from naturally occurring background radiation..."

Let's do the math, shall we?

Using the numbers provided in the previous post:

There are 3600 seconds in an hour. This device would cause an exposure of 3600 microRem in 1 hour's time, which is 180-360 times the normal background radiation! That is simply not acceptable! There is no safe dosage of radiation! Exposing people to these amounts to search for non-credible weapons (ceramic knives) when non-invasive and non-carcinogenic options of searching for real weapons exist (guns and bombs via the WTMD and chemical detectors) is insane.
