Air travel Radiation
Just an FYI,
Did you know that the average traveller receives about 100mR of radiation on a trans-atlantic flight?
Interesting as that is the limit that you can expose a member of the public too in a year. It is not recorded because it is "naturally occuring"
I just thought, with some of the high mileage plats FT'ers, they must be getting a fair amount of radiation during the year.
Nothing to worry about, just thought it was interesting.

Don't forget the flouride in the water; saps the precious bodily fluids.

I'm sorry this really doesn't have anything to do with CO or Onepass. I am going to move it over to Omni where the discussion can be continued there.
