TSA to test its airport scanner operators for radiation exposure
After years of rebuffing health concerns over airport scanners, the Transportation Security Administration plans to conduct new tests on the potential radiation exposure from the machines at more than 100 airports nationwide. But the TSA does not plan to retest the machines or passengers. Instead, the agency plans to test its airport security officers to see if they are being exposed to dangerous levels of radiation while working with the scanners.

Simple, Wayne. The TSA will bury the data, move the over exposed individuals to non-checkpoint duties and march on from there. But imagine when (the truth will always find a way)the data is made public. Every law firm in the country will switch from Mesotheliyoma litigation to radiation exposure suits. Get ready.
probably so
I don't think they'll do anything because they aren't going to find anything. If you know what I mean...
Sad, but probably true
Yep.
Right on Wayne yes..workers in that industry wear a card which records the total input. Not sure what happens in the US military but here in Europe we wear a tag.
Question is, what if they find over exposure or someone at threshold, what are they gonna do?
