Full body scanner technologies -- For Dummies

I came across this link that explains the working principles behind the two
types of scanners in use. I thought it was informative.

I heard the other day that it has been calculated that there is a 1 in
20,000,000 chance of dieing as a result of the scanners. And there is a 1
in 30,000,000 chance of being killed by a terrorist.

So by that math ratio the TSA is more dangerous that the Taliban.

Go figure.

Sounds about right. Marijuana is a C-1 controlled substance and cocaine is a
C-2, so the DEA says doing coke is better for you.
