Just a question it says 'low-level X-ray technology' if you get scanned everytime you go through a gate as I do everyday at work, is it safe, or over time the level of radiation builds up to a dangerous level?.

Honestly. This isn't new -- these scanners came on the market five years ago. What's wrong with people?

If you're concerned about the X-ray technology you'll be impressed by the solution developed by QinetiQ, a research organisation in the UK.

No Harry, just put it in one of those lead-lined bag things. They come in different sizes, but I haven't seen any ribbed ones :eek:
