Most proper airlines monitor an individuals exposure and make the results available. This is a legal requirement.

1st quarter 2008 = 900μSv
(2xJFK + 1xYYZ + 1xIAH + others ....)
going up to the 3.6mSv per annum ...
... and KLAX not on the roster yet (valued 130μSv)...
Need to start bidding against those flights before I'll become "glowing" ...

Someone told me a bag of those mixed nuts make yuh immune to cosmic radioation. Is true? :}
In the 50's people radiated themselves on purpose and they made it out alright. :p
Well I'm going to have my bag of nuts while basking in 20µSv tomorrow. :ugh:
