"Manufacturer says full body scanners at airports are a valuable tool in fighting terror - CLEVELAND, Ohio — A manufacturer of airport security systems says terror attempts like the one over Detroit last week underscore the value of controversial full body scanners and should reinforce the public's faith in the powerful technology. - The X-ray dose of one body scan is negligible, says Joe Reiss, vice-president of marketing for American Science and Engineering. One scan emits less than 10 microrem, the unit used to measure radiation, he said. Comparably, an hour on an airplane at a high altitude exposes a passenger to 300 microrem, and the average person is exposed to 1,000 microrem of radiation over the course of a normal day, Reiss said."
