Quite a few on here travel quite a bit, so I thought you might be interested in these links about the new whole body scanners, specifically relating to safety.
Most pertinent is this letter from senior faculty members at UCSF detailing their serious concerns about the safety of the x-ray based scanners. tinyurl.com/29oy36w
CNet also have a useful longer piece on rights and risks here. tinyurl.com/33afnzr
Obviously this is a personal choice, and you may feel otherwise, but on the evidence I have seen so far, I have urged my employees to opt out of the scan and instead ask for an enhanced pat-down. You have the right to do so.
